Chapter 2 The Major General's Mansion Recruits

"Let's go, let's go!" Meng Sangpo interrupted her broken thoughts impatiently.

Seeing Huang Ye's small figure gradually disappear, Meng Sangpo finally couldn't help crying sadly, she was not afraid of death, and even thought about dying quickly, but Huang Ye was only eight years old, if she died, Huang Ye didn't know if she could grow up!

Meng Sangpo's cry spread to several thatched huts nearby, and someone poked his head out to take a look, sighed helplessly, and called: "Meng Sangpo, I'll go to the back mountain to pick wild vegetables in a while, do you want to go together?" ”

Meng Sangpo thought of the unfinished cloth and the grain that had bottomed out this month, and her sadness was swept away, leaving only a full sense of urgency, "Go, go, I'll go with you." ”

The other party breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his things and waited for Meng Sangpo.

Huang Ye walked out of Meng Sangpo's line of sight and quickened his pace, as soon as the village came out, it was the official road, and he walked along the official road for two quarters of an hour to the city.

The city seems to be a little livelier than ever.

Huang Ye was puzzled, and when he arrived outside the county office, he found that there were already a bunch of people waiting to receive the task, the oldest was estimated to be more than twenty, and the youngest was five or six years old.

She quickly pulled a child who looked similar to her and asked, "Sister, what's going on today?" Why so many people? ”

"You don't know?" Xiao Tao glanced at Huang Ye in surprise, and replied: "Yesterday, a young general came to the city, bringing a lot of men and horses, grain and grass, I heard that this young general has 3,000 personal soldiers, these personal soldiers only listen to the dispatch of the major general, so many people are not allowed to recruit some subordinates to do the work!" Everyone is here to try their luck, and if they are really recruited, they will turn over! ”

The more Xiao Tao spoke, the more excited she became, her bright eyes were shining, and she was a little trance-like when she saw the yellow leaves.

It took a while for her to come back to her senses and smile at Xiao Tao, "Then let's work hard and strive to be recruited." ”

"Uh-huh." Xiao Tao nodded heavily, she looked nervously at the people around her, and lowered her voice, "I don't know what kind of people are needed in the Major General's Mansion, I will spin and farm, and the rest will not be able to do well....."

Huang Ye looked at Xiao Tao's small body like her, and sighed in his heart, the work they can do is indeed very limited.

At this moment, a group of people walked out of the county office, and when they saw the master at the head, everyone rushed up and asked, "Master Zhang, Master Zhang, look at me, I can do any job." ”

"And me and me, I can do it too!"

.....

Master Zhang stood with his hands in his hands, looked at everyone condescendingly, frowned fiercely, and the official immediately shook the whip twice.

The crowd was immediately silenced, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.

Master Zhang finally had a look of satisfaction on his face, he cleared his throat, and said unhurriedly: "Five to twelve-year-old children stay, and the others leave immediately." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and many people were unconvinced, but they didn't dare to argue when they saw the long whip in the hands of the officials, so they could only reluctantly retreat, and almost withdrew from the three zhang before Master Zhang continued to speak, "I think everyone also knows that a noble person came to Pucheng yesterday, and this noble person is the young general who came to Biansai to lead the troops to fight, and the young general will stay in Pucheng for a few years, and he needs a lot of subordinates to serve."

However, as long as people are children under the age of twelve, you can be regarded as catching up with a good time, and someone from the Major General's Mansion will come to pick people after a while, you can behave well, if you enter the Major General's Mansion, you will be exempted from the task of every month, and you can receive monthly money. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't even care about the whip in the hands of the officials, and they gathered together and whispered.

Xiao Tao grabbed Huang Ye's hand tightly, and spoke incoherently with excitement, "Did you hear that?" Do you hear that? The master said that as long as you enter the Major General's Mansion, you don't need to receive a task, and you still have monthly money! Rich! ”

These children have no chance to make money in Pucheng, but they didn't expect this young general to give monthly money, which made Huang Ye quite surprised.

After about half an hour, a group of people finally came from Yongding Street, led by the general riding a high-headed horse, with extraordinary momentum, he looked coldly at the ant-like child in front of him, and finally fell on Master Zhang.

Master Zhang stepped forward and saluted affectionately, and said flatteringly: "Vice General Li, all the people who meet the requirements of the major general are here, you can pick and choose." ”

Li Yang Lisuo got off his horse and approached the crowd in three or two steps.

A group of children trembled with fear from him, lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him, without the slightest rule.

Li Yang's brows furrowed even tighter, his eyes swept around the crowd critically, and he couldn't help but be surprised to see Huang Ye different from the other children cowering and daring to look at him, but he quickly shifted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "All line up according to the queue, raise your heads." ”

At the sound of an order, someone finally began to move.

After a while, a group of children were barely lined up, and Li Yang asked from the first one, "What will happen?" ”

"Grass ..... Grass people will sprinkle and sweep, plant, weave baskets, climb trees, ....."

Li Yang chuckled lightly, and his tone softened, "Hmm." ”

It was the turn of the second child, and the other party was a little girl, and she said weakly: "The folk girl can spin thread, cook, and do laundry ......."

"Hmm."

Li Yang asked the twenty children in the first row, and all of them were qualified, which made Huang Ye more confident.

When it was her turn, she answered decently, thinking that she should be able to pass the test, but she didn't expect Li Yang to say, "What else will you order besides these ordinary jobs?" ”

Huang Ye looked at Li Yang in surprise, looked at him for a long time, and quickly lowered his head, "The folk girl also recognized some common herbs from Grandma. ”

"Oh! So you can still identify herbs? Li Yang was even more curious about Huang Ye, this is Pucheng, not a prosperous mansion, the girl in front of her should be a sinner, and she still has such ability, no wonder she dared to look at him just now.

"Slightly..... I know a little bit about the fur. Huang Ye frowned slightly, and his heart was worried.

Li Yang didn't ask any more questions, and asked people to write her down.

In the end, all the eighty-six children who came over were selected by Li Yang.

Master Zhang suddenly became anxious, "Vice General Li, you took them all away, and no one will do the work of the county government!" You see..... Can you leave us a few? ”

Li Yang's face sank, and he looked at Master Zhang coldly, "You can tell the young general this kind of thing yourself." ”

Master Zhang's face turned pale, his mouth was closed, and he didn't even dare to let out a fart, watching Li Yang take away a group of children.

When he was far away, the official beside him asked in a low voice, "Master, this person has been taken away, what should we do?" There is still a pile of firewood in the county government that no one has chopped, a pile of clothes that no one has washed, and what should I do with today's food....."

The official said that Master Zhang's face sank a little, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, he turned his head sharply and roared: "What should I do..... How do I know what to do! Are they all dead? Won't you be on top if no one is working? ”

All the officials looked at each other, and their faces collapsed together.
