Chapter 82 Chen Wu, I implore the general to take it in!

His words made Chen Wu even more incomprehensible.

"How could those gentlemen be willing to stay at the border to teach, and not want to gain fame?"

"As for those doctors, don't they want to help the world?"

The old man took the red oil bun and handed it to the two of them, then sat down again and said, "Gain fame? Those were disheartened young people who had been replaced. ”

"There are also young people who have been assigned to the frontier. They were all saved by the general. ”

Speaking of this, the old man said with a relieved face: "My grandson will go to a private school next year, and he only needs three cents a year." Our old man is also hopeful, hahaha! ”

Hearing the money, Chen Wu was directly stunned.

What do you have enough money for?

In Lingnan, that is, three steamed buns.

But at the border gate, a child can go to private school for a year.

As far as he knows, no matter how cheap a private school is, it costs seven taels of silver a year.

And that's not even counting the other additional expenses.

This back and forth is a thousandfold difference.

On the side, Su Mo saw the old man's strange appearance and asked, "The old man's legs and feet don't seem to be very comfortable?" Did you go see it? ”

The old man waved his hand and said indifferently: "I had an old problem with escaping the famine, so I went to get some medicinal herbs to drink and got used to it." ”

Su Mo asked, "Are medicinal herbs still cheap?" ”

The old man thought for a while and said, "In the past few months, we have been fighting every day, and it is more expensive than usual. ”

"There's no way to do it, the dog emperor is dizzy, and he has to get along with us."

"No way!"

Before Su Mo could speak, Chen Wu immediately spoke: "Does the old man hate Your Majesty so much? ”

Hearing this, the old man suddenly got up and slammed on the table with all his might.

"Your Majesty? That's a son of a bitch, a shitty thing. ”

"Did the Lingnan drought give you a penny? How many old brothers are starving to death on the road. ”

"The eldest is gone, the third is gone, and the second child is lucky to follow and escape to the border."

As he spoke, the old man's body immediately began to tremble, and he choked up and said, "The general gave us food, gave us clothes, and treated us as human beings." ”

"Where's the Dog Emperor?"

"He's a brute, he's a brute."

The angry scolding here drew applause from a crowd of passers-by.

"That's right, the Dog Emperor is a brute."

"Yes, it's a brute."

One of them looked at Chen Wu and said, "The little brother is also from Lingnan." ”

"Don't be afraid, the general will take care of you, it's fine here."

Everyone on the side also agreed.

Looking at this scene, Chen Wu was stunned.

He never expected that Su Mo's prestige at the border pass would reach such a level.

He also didn't expect that these people would be so grateful to Su Mo.

When the two came out of the cell, Su Mo made a disguise, these people couldn't recognize him at all, so there was no such thing as these people deliberately doing this in order to curry favor with Su Mo.

Speaking of candidates, they walked around all the way, and Chen Wu chose this shop by himself and stopped.

There is no such thing as Su Mo arranging everything early and acting for him.

None of the above exists, it can only be said that these people respect Su Mo from the bottom of their hearts.

Just after walking around for a stick of incense from here, he thought he had walked to the capital.

Each of them is beautifully dressed and looks like a rich and noble family.

Those people from Lingnan seem to have fled the famine, and it is more like they have moved here at home.

Just three years!

He couldn't imagine how these people could go from refugees to businessmen.

And the person who made all this happen is in front of him, Su Mo!

Before the two of them finished eating, the old man stepped forward and said, "The little doll should have just come to the border, if you have any difficulties, find the general, he will not dislike you." ”

"Remember you can't say 'Your Majesty' at the border, that's a dog thing."

"Today's meal is the old man's invitation."

The two prevaricated, but Su Mo left the old gentleman food money and left.

Returning to the General's Mansion, Chen Wu knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Chen Wu, I beg the general to take it in!"

With Chen Wu's surrender, Su Mo immediately directly appointed him as a vanguard general to lead the border army to surrender to Cheng.

The benefits are twofold.

First, you can set an example for the generals of the Great Zhou, as long as you are sincere, even if you come to the border army, you can be appointed as a general.

The second is that Chen Wu has a deep reputation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and letting him command these armies will not cause some trouble, so as to avoid unnecessary conflicts between the border army and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In fact, Chen Wu did not disappoint Su Mo, the first thing he did when he learned that he was appointed as a vanguard general was to take everyone around Tai'an City.

He knew very well that these soldiers were all drawn from all over the country, and the people were different, so they must be allowed to see the real life of the border army.

Thinking of this, Chen Wu immediately asked all the rich children of the generals to be called together.

These people are the most troublesome and the most disobedient.

As long as they get it done, the rest of the soldiers will be much easier.

Chen Wu led a group of rich children to the most affluent street in Tai'an, and said, "You are all the eldest sons and sisters-in-law in the family, from major families. ”

"There are a lot of rich and noble people I have seen in the past, and in your heart, the border army should also be a group of poor people."

"Today, I'll take you to see how the border army is."

After speaking, he led a group of generals into the richest place in Tai'an City.

Zhao Shinian looked at everyone's figures, and his expression was full of disdain.

He is the sister-in-law of the Zhao family in the imperial capital, and he came to the border army just to earn military merits, and took the opportunity to go to the Sixth Department to get an idle position.

For the border pass, he looked down on it in his heart, these people were born in a land of poor mountains and bad waters, and they were Diao people!

He is a family of official eunuchs, born noble, and now he is just putting on a show.

With a feeling of disdain, he followed Chen Wu into a house.

Before they could reach the inner courtyard, they were interrupted by an exclamation.

"Is it agarwood, or is it hundreds of years old?"

"What kind of person is this who can afford to use agarwood as a pillar?"

As one person exclaimed, the rest of the people all exclaimed.

"It's really agarwood, my God, this pillar will cost thousands of taels of gold."

"This, this aisle is tens of thousands of taels of gold?"

The children of rich families only felt as if they had read it wrong.

It's not that they haven't seen agarwood at home, but such extravagant agarwood pillars are really too extravagant.

In Kyoto, a half-foot-long agarwood is about to be snatched by a group of gentry.

But here, the agarwood that is more than ten feet long is just beams and wooden columns, and everyone can't imagine this level of luxury.

Not far away, Chen Wu looked at everyone's expressions, and knew in his heart that there was still some fire.

It's not enough to let them see these rich and noble families, but take them to see ordinary people.

Chen Wu led the people to wander around a few more rich and noble houses, and then led everyone to the street.

He found a random family and led everyone in.

He asked, pointing to the glass candle light on the board.

"Is this common in your family?"

All the rich children replied with a smile.

"Isn't this thing thirty or fifty taels a piece?"

"It's like no one can afford it."

The rest of the people also chimed in: "Yes, it's thirty or fifty taels, and anyone can afford it." ”

Chen Wu nodded and asked, "In Kyoto, how many ordinary people can afford to buy it?" ”
