Chapter 295 Support
"Well, Cheng Guo is here? Haha, you guys are interesting. There is still a war there, and you actually come out to do business."
Jin Shuke looked at the other party. The clerk asked with some surprise.
"See what the military master said, don't eat when fighting, don't do business?"
The leader of the caravan calmly handed over a small bag of silver.
Jin Shu avoided it and did not accept the money, but said:
"Is this what you often say about wanting money rather than life?"
"Of course life is precious, but if you don't have money, , I can’t live this life anymore.”
Jin Shuke nodded and said: "It makes sense, let's go in, and we will count and register later."
"Oh, thank you very much, Master Jun. Please accept these little things and give them to brothers." Let’s drink tea.”
"Put it away, otherwise you will be charged with bribery."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
The caravan leader immediately put the money away and bowed several times before signaling. His team enters the city.
Big oil and water cannot be obtained on the city gate card side, but small oil and water are often available. It is just because of the "heavy code" in Shengle City now that no one dares to reach out.
It’s not worth it to lose your future and life for this little money.
Jin Shuke waved his hand to one of his subordinates and whispered to him:
"Go and inform Third Master's men that a caravan from Chengguo has entered the city."
"As ordered. "
After giving the instructions, Jin Shuke stretched out and walked to Yu Huaping.
Shengle Army pays attention to the military posture. The picture shows General Zheng looking good when he is reviewing the troops.
Every month, each department will gather together to go through the exercise and evaluate the top three and the bottom three.
So many generals have very high requirements for the posture of their men when they are on duty on weekdays. What's more, they will gather their men together to practice goose steps after they are off duty.
This point has greatly improved the "city appearance" of Shengle City.
Of course, standing in a military posture is really not difficult for Yu Huaping. He can stand in the same posture from morning to night.
Jin Shuke took out a small bottle, poured a little Fengyou essence from it onto his fingertips, and rubbed it under his nose.
This is a product just released from the Chengxi Workshop - Fengyoujing.
It has a good refreshing effect, so I bought some for Jinshu.
Looking at the Chengguo caravan entering the city, Jin Shuke whispered: "There might be spies from over here."
Yu Huaping turned his face and looked at Metal skills can be used.
"I have already notified the other side." Jin Shuke continued.
Yu Huaping nodded.
In the past few months, Yu Huaping has been working conscientiously as a city guard and a swordsman. He can really endure loneliness.
Even General Zheng, who wanted to visit the East Gate seven or eight times a day at the beginning, has gradually lost the novelty and stopped coming, but Jin Shuke has always been very concerned about this "subordinate".
It seems that he has determined that this person is not an ordinary person. Many times he will tell him some of his experiences and the purpose of what he does, and he will also share it with him.
So, in this world, some people really deserve to stand out. Not everyone can have this kind of vision.
"Let's go have a drink together after we get off duty?" Jin Shuke asked.
Yu Huaping shook his head and said: "No, you go ahead."
Jin Shu was not angry at all. In fact, he was used to this kind of rejection, except when his own woman gave birth to a child. After that, Yu Huaping never went to any of the other brothers’ gatherings.
"Okay." Jin Shuke reached out and patted Yu Huaping's shoulder, imitating the expression when his master Zheng Fan patted his shoulder.
After setting the value,
Yu Huaping put away his knife and started walking back.
While walking on the road, he saw his apprentice waiting for him at the street corner on time every day.
The little sword boy stood upright with a wooden sword on his waist.
Yu Huaping walked over and she followed naturally.
The master and apprentice walked into an alley in the city. This was a very small courtyard that looked a little dilapidated, but it was very clean.
After the sword master came in, he picked up the bucket and turned around to leave.
The little sword boy took out a handful of candied fruits from his arms and teased the little boy who ran out of the house.
The master and apprentice seemed to have become accustomed to this division of labor, and they both blended in naturally.
The sword master fetched water twice and filled the water tank.
The little boy was a little full after eating candied fruits and touched his belly.
An old woman watched this scene happily. When the sword master came back, she enthusiastically pulled the sword master over, measured his shoe boards, and said she would make him two pairs of cloth shoes.
"You soldiers, the boots you wear are good, but your feet are stuffy and smelly. The shoes I wear are better because they are loose and easy to wear."
When the sword master heard the words, he nodded and said:
"That's right."
When it was getting late, the woman who came down from the perfume workshop returned home.
At this time, the sword master and the little sword boy were preparing to go out.
The woman pursed her lips and shouted:
"I'll cook and let's eat together tonight."
The sword master waved his hand and said: "Next time, Next time.”
Say it,
He left this home with the little sword boy.
Back at the post house, the manager of the post station brought two bowls of noodles.
The sword master and the little sword boy each had a bowl of noodles, and both the master and the apprentice ate in an awkward manner.
"Master, why don't you stay there for dinner?"
"It's not time yet." The sword master replied.
According to the rules of Jin, if both men and women do not have a spouse, then if they sit at the same table and have a serious meal, they are living together.
The woman has already spoken, but the sword master has not responded.
"Master, are you shy?" the little sword boy asked.
The Juggernaut hesitated for a moment and nodded.
“I think that Master’s Wife is pretty good and she is a down-to-earth person.” said the little sword boy.
"How old are you before you know how to read people?"
"Master, I can see what some people are thinking, and it's not like you don't know."
The sword master was stunned and lowered his head. , continue to eat noodles.
The master and the apprentice finished eating,
The little sword boy began to practice his sword,
The sword master took Long Yuan and started carving.
He wanted to make a rattle for the boy named "Tiantian" by Zheng Fan himself. After all, he peed in his arms six times.
He also wants to make a small wooden sword and give it to her son, named Liu Dahu.
The sword Longyuan, which was famous in the world at that time, was in the hands of the sword master, but now it was used as a toy for children. I wonder if the Chu sword maker would be so angry that he would vomit blood if he knew about it.
The blind man once asked himself, should I continue to be a city guard?
If you want to continue to be the employee, then continue to be the employee and ask if you want to be promoted. If you don't want to continue to be the employee, then everyone can discuss other arrangements. Even if you want to leave, you have to have a farewell banquet.
But he decided to continue to be a man, and continued to change his sword into a knife every morning and go to the city gate to watch the crowds coming in and out.
The Sword Master himself did not expect that this city guard could serve for so long.
What he didn’t even expect was that
the ceiling realm that he had been stagnant for a long time and seemed to have touched, actually showed signs of loosening.
The Sword Master remembered that the blind man once answered one of his questions, that is, what kind of Qi is his sword? The blind man said, it is the Qi of the earth.
Carving and carving,
The sword master couldn't help but reveal a smile on his lips.
The little sword boy who was practicing his sword keenly captured this detail,
but he did not stop his sword practice,
He just snorted disdainfully in his heart:
“Oh, man.”
…………
“Where is the pioneer officer?” Zheng Fan asked.
"My lord, he is waiting in the front hall."
"Haha."
Zheng Fan smiled and threw the military order from the eldest prince on the table.
Several demon kings all put aside their original work and gathered at the mansion for a meeting, because the eldest prince's army had arrived at the border and was about to enter the country.
Xue San said: "My lord, this eldest prince is so majestic. He wants ten thousand civilians and wants us to be responsible for the supply and transportation of food and fodder for his army on the left. Who the hell is this? Something."
A Ming nodded and said: "He thinks of himself as Tian Wujing."
When Tian Wujing entered the snowfield, Shengle City was responsible for raising and arranging food and grass supplies, and did a perfect job in logistical support. Of course, in terms of profit distribution after the war, Shengle City also made a fortune.
The eldest prince obviously valued Sheng Lecheng's ability to serve as a "logistics soldier".
Zheng Fan picked up the tea cup and took a sip without speaking in a hurry.
Siniang said: "We Shengle are still in a huge loss now. Thanks to our strong foundation, we can still afford the loss for the time being. If we simply support the supply of materials for a large army, this But what is really a loss-making transaction is that What’s the point of changing the title of the lord when he talks about his achievements after the war?”
Only supplies of food and fodder will be of no concern to you in the future distribution of battle results. After all, you didn't actually send troops to fight, right?
Liang Cheng said:
“You can’t be taken advantage of,”
Zheng Fan asked at this time: “How did Chen Yang deal with it?”
Chen Yang is the chief military officer of Xinsu City, with ten thousand Jingnan troops under his command.
The blind man replied: "My lord, Chen Yang can't hold on, and the eldest prince didn't come out to greet him when he passed by."
Tian Wujing didn't say anything. No one in the Jingnan Army dared to say hello.
Of course, you can also say hello, which means that it is up to you to jump out of the Jingnan Army system and jump into the arms of the eldest prince for a hug.
Only from Zheng Fan’s point of view,
he left Tian Wujing and threw himself into the arms of the eldest prince to become a licking dog again after his brain was filled with water.
Rentian Wujing's son is still being raised at his own home.
"Tell that pioneer officer that we, Shengle, are poor and have been unable to make ends meet for a long time. We really have no energy to support the army." This kind of heavy city, the base camp of the Wenren family and the Helian family, was okay, with a dense population and developed economy and trade. However, the Yan Kingdom defenders in other places were only paid half by the court, and the remaining half was raised by themselves.
This is also an unspoken rule. The court also knows that if you have the ability to get money and food, your life will not be too bad. This is like the death of some yamen in later generations who only have a small salary but still have countless people. The reason why I squeezed my scalp to get in.
Zheng Fan added:
"In addition, make a bill for the military pay, food, grass, etc. that the imperial court owes us in the past year, and send someone to the eldest prince to ask for his mercy. , saying that we are really too poor to live any longer and hope that the eldest prince will support us." (End of Chapter)
