Chapter 270: Establishment
Li Zheng stopped reading this, and then said with a smile: "Don't hurry up and thank Your Highness." ”
"Your Highness Xie, but Li Zheng ...... I've lost three fingers of my hand, what else can I do? Wang Tie stretched out his right hand, leaving only two fingers, his thumb and index finger.
"Hey, don't be in the blessing and don't know the blessing, Your Highness said, it is your family that you want to hire, which means that not only you, you and your mother-in-law are all members of the service area, and Your Highness is willing to give you and your mother-in-law 150 Wen per month!" Li Zheng hated the opening of the iron not steel.
"Huh?!" Wang Tie was really surprised this time, 150 wen a month?! This...... And it's still him and his mother-in-law? This means that they make a lot more money in a year than they do farming!
"This ...... Li Zheng, can I know what His Highness wants us to do, the main thing is that my mother-in-law and I will only farm, I am afraid of delaying His Highness's affairs. Wang Tie scratched his head and said with some hesitation.
"Since Your Highness has asked you to go, it must be your ability to help Your Highness, haven't you seen it yet? Your Highness is sympathetic to you, otherwise why would you be looking for a retired government soldier like you? Isn't it because you've made meritorious deeds? And how much grain can we have in the land here in Sanliu Village in a year? That is, barely make ends meet, why don't you hurry up? Rizheng patted him on the shoulder and said.
"This ...... Then I'll go, but Lizheng, I want to know, what will I do with this land? Wang Tie hesitated.
"It's not simple, Your Highness gave you an idea, your land can be divided among other people in the village to plant, and let them give you half of the grain? Anyway, your Majesty Yongye Tian also gave you tax exemption. ”
"This ...... Yes. Wang Tie thought about it, and simply agreed, the field was left to the people in the village to plant, although only half of the grain could be obtained, but it was not wasted, and the people in the village should be very willing, if His Highness doesn't need himself there, he can come back to continue farming in the future.
"Then it's decided, tomorrow, you go to the post station near Xiaohe Village next door to meet at the official road. Your Highness's future task is there, the grain in the land has been planted this year anyway, you will take the time to come back and harvest it, and when the time comes, let the village help, and you will give them some grain. Rizheng spoke.
"By the way, you pack up your clothes tomorrow or something, you can explain to the neighbors to help watch, bring all the valuables, and the family of four will go over!" Li Zheng explained again.
"Yes!" Wang Tie agreed.
After Li Zheng left, Wang Tie's mother-in-law and children looked over a little confused, "Boss, this is ...... What did His Royal Highness King Qin ask us to do? This gives us so much money. Wang Tie's mother-in-law asked hesitantly.
"I don't know, it's just a good thing, I didn't listen to it because of my meritorious performance, did this give us this opportunity?" Wang Tie said.
"But...... Isn't it nice for us to farm at home? Work for His Highness, and His Highness will give such a high monthly money...... But we won't do anything, if we mess up what Your Highness has done...... Will...... Will it be ......" Wang Tie's mother-in-law was full of worry.
She is just an ordinary woman, she doesn't have much knowledge, she always feels that His Royal Highness gives such a high monthly money, and she is not at ease with it, and she is afraid that something will happen. In her opinion, although her husband has been a government soldier and has also killed enemies, he can be regarded as a meritorious service.
But that was all in the past, and His Majesty also gave a reward and exempted them from the permanent tax of their family's Yongye Field, which was already satisfied for her.
"Hey, don't be cranky, didn't you listen? It was ordered by His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, and then His Royal Highness the King of Qin personally recruited me to go, just because I had made meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty, this must be His Royal Highness the King of Qin who sympathized with us, otherwise, how could he recruit me as a cripple? It's definitely a good thing, so don't worry about it. "In the end, Wang Tie went out to fight, and when he got insight, he comforted.
"That'...... I'll go pack my things. Mrs. Wang Tie immediately agreed silently.
Wang Tie went out to find the village chief, Sanliu Village is not big, there are less than 30 households in total, this is located in a relatively remote place in Lanzhou, although there is the Yellow River nearby, but they are not within the scope here, from the name of Sanliu Village, it can be seen that it is named because of the three big willow trees at the entrance of the village.
The land in the village is not fertile, it can be said that it is barren, and the output in the fields every year can only barely maintain food and clothing, and there is not much food stored at all.
The village chief already knew about Wang Tie's affairs, so he could rest assured that the affairs of the village were handed over to him.
Early the next morning, Wang Tie's family got into the carriage and went straight to their destination, Xiaohe Village was not too far away from them, but the village still borrowed a carriage for Wang Tie and sent them to the post station near Xiaohe Village.
The official road is about a mile away from Xiaohe Village, but the speed of the carriage is not fast, when Wang Tie and the others arrived near the post station, he immediately saw a few acquaintances, all of whom were from nearby villages, who were soldiers with him back then.
Now everybody's here.
However, Wang Tie came late, and when he arrived at the place, Wang Tie found that they were next to the post station.
And there is a caravan already waiting here.
Seeing Wang Tie and them coming down, a middle-aged man next to the caravan immediately greeted him and asked with a smile, "Are you Wang Tie?" ”
"Yes."
"My name is Zhang Jiu, please come here to draw a charge." The middle-aged man pointed to a booklet and spoke.
Wang Tie can know a few words, but he doesn't know much, he can recognize his name, this is like a roll call, Wang Tie immediately drew a tick behind his name.
"Okay, the people are almost there, everyone, you will all be members of the service area firm established by His Highness in the future, I don't know if you have heard of it, His Highness has recruited 5,000 disabled veterans in Chang'an, mainly because I am afraid that you veterans will have a difficult life after being discharged from the army."
"And this time I tried every means to set up these positions for you, Your Highness said, you have made contributions to the Tang Dynasty, you are the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, although it may be that countless people in the Tang Dynasty do not remember you, but Your Highness will not forget you! Datang will not forget you! His Royal Highness said that the heroes of the Tang Dynasty must not be allowed to bleed and starve! Zhang Jiu waited for Wang Tiehua to finish his charge, and then said in a sincere tone.
Wang Tie and several other veterans instantly turned a little red in their eyes, moved was part, more of a kind of self-contribution, but finally someone remembered the excitement and a sense of honor that filled their chests!
Wang Tie and a few veterans directly gave the Tang Dynasty's military salute and said loudly: "I am willing to die for the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Zhang Jiu and the people around the caravan also immediately bowed down to them and saluted.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the task given to you by His Highness this time is very simple, or rather, this is not a task, you should have seen this large open space." Zhang Jiu pointed to a large open tunnel next to the post station.
Everyone nodded.
"That's right, this piece of open space will belong to the Xiaohe service area in the future! Later, we will gradually find someone to circle this place, you should have seen that the line has been drawn on the ground, and we have pulled over this time with grain, iron pots, tents, spices and so on. ”
"In fact, what Your Highness told you to do is very simple, that is, His Highness will provide food, iron pots, cooking materials, etc., and then you will cook and sell them to the caravans! The price of the meal has already been calculated for you, you just need to make the meal ready. ”
"And the profits from the meals are up to you." Zhang Jiu smiled and spoke.
"Huh?" Wang Tie and all the other government soldiers are already stupid, this is called living? Isn't this giving money? Then His Highness will give them the monthly money!
"This ...... This Lang Jun, we can't do this, isn't this taking advantage of His Highness? His Royal Highness gave us a monthly money, and as a result, we had to keep the profits from selling the food, how can there be such a reason in this world? And this land, the tools are all provided by His Highness. Wang Tie hurriedly spoke.
"Yes! We can't do that! There is no such truth in the world. Several other government soldiers also hurriedly spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, listen to me, in fact, the work that His Highness gave you is to let you live in this service area in the future, but there are not many caravans in the early stage, and you definitely can't make much money in a month, and you don't have any money in your hands, so Your Highness gave you monthly money to let you get through the most difficult early stage."
"When the money you earn every month here is enough to stabilize your life, Your Highness will not pay you monthly money at that time. What's more, if you were to do it yourself, you wouldn't have the money to buy food, iron pots, salt, and tents in the early stage! So, that's all for now, and you've earned the money you can buy these things, and you'll be responsible for your own profits and losses. Zhang Jiuha laughed a few times.
Wang Tie and the others blushed slightly, this is indeed the truth, they have no money now.
"Okay, everyone, this service area is also related to His Highness's next strategy, so you just follow His Highness's orders!" Zhang Jiu saw their embarrassment and immediately changed the topic with a smile.

PS: Have you watched today's news? Yancheng dug up 1.5 tons of copper coins, from Tang Kaiyuan Tongbao to the Song Dynasty, must have been buried by the people of the Song Dynasty. I told you that the gate valve family will bury money, and there is no shortage of money, and there are all kinds of coins from previous dynasties, but you don't believe it.
