The happy life of a prodigal

Unexpectedly, the young master didn't pay attention to other things. Instead, he attached great importance to this material called rubber.

Even issued an order in the letter.

As much rubber as there is, Xin'an Houfu needs as much.

As long as the price is right, unlimited collection.

Although he was puzzled, he followed suit.

Even if the young master is not here, countless facts have proved that as long as you follow the young master, the final result will definitely not be wrong!

As Bai Xiaochun thought about it, several merchants had already started quoting prices.

According to common sense, it should be the one with the lowest price.

But Bai Xiaochun didn't have so many, but stipulated what kind of requirements the quality of the rubber must meet.

After several merchants heard this, they argued for a while before finally deciding on the price.

After the discussion, Bai Xiaochun looked at Zuo Fei and asked, "Do you know what the young master wants this rubber for?"

Zuo Fei shook his head lightly, and said, "I don't know, the young master just said he wanted to buy more, but he didn't say what to do with it."

After Bai Xiaochun heard this, he didn't ask any more questions.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

The sound of footsteps was very familiar, and one could tell it was from Chu.

Sure enough, in the next second, a servant came forward and said: "Master Governor, the three generals are waiting outside and want to see you."

When Bai Xiaochun heard this, he already had a guess in his mind what these people were here for.

Therefore, he just waved his hand and said, "Understood, let them come over."

"Yes, my lord!"

After saluting, he turned and left.

After a while, three burly-looking captains of the Shenji Battalion walked in.

He stood upright and bowed respectfully.

"The humble rank has seen Lord Dudu."

Bai Xiaochun looked at them without saying a word.

The three school lieutenants stood with embarrassing expressions.

Bai Xiaochun said: "Whatever you want to say, just say it directly, dignified captain, why are you so coy."

Hearing this, the three school lieutenants looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and said, "Your Excellency, there is actually nothing wrong.

It’s just that the brothers want the lowly officials to ask, when will I be able to return to the Kyoto Prefecture..."

Having said that, he paused, and hurriedly added: "Lord Governor, don't get me wrong, the lowly ranks don't want to run away, it's just that when we came here, Lord Hou just told us to go and wipe out the pirates.

Today, the pirates are almost wiped out.

Then Master Hou asked us to come to Nanyang again. This is the duty of the humble and brothers, and there is nothing to say.

It's just that Nanyang is not a place where people live, it's hot and sunny, that's all, the food is unpalatable, and the brothers are about to throw up after eating those bananas every day.

Besides that......"

Speaking of this, his expression was a little hesitant, but he gritted his teeth and said it out: "Also, there are old and young in the families of the humble workers. I haven't gone back for more than half a year. I will inevitably miss my relatives at home."

This is human nature.

After hearing this, Bai Xiaochun nodded, with a very calm expression, and said calmly: "I understand what you mean, and I will tell you the truth.

After a while, Lord Hou will send people to Nanyang, about 1000 people, about a year later, at that time, you can choose whether to go back or stay here.

In addition, there are still some people who can choose to follow me to continue searching for the golden land. "

When the three captains heard this, their expressions changed a little.

Someone opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Bai Xiaochun glanced at him, stretched out his hand, stopped him, and continued: "Don't talk, listen to me first.

I know that you are homesick, you miss your family, and you are not used to living here.

Me too, I grew up in Kyoto Prefecture since I was a child, and naturally I am not used to it here.

I have thought about everything you think about, but no matter what, someone has to do it.

If you are unwilling to stay in Nanyang, Lord Hou will not force you, but will let you return to the capital.

At the same time, I will give each of you 100 taels of silver as a reward for this period of time. Apart from that, there is nothing left.

Those who choose to stay will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver every year.

You can choose to keep this money for yourself, or you can choose to send it back to your family.

Moreover, the people who stay don't stay forever, they still have to be replaced every five years.

At that time, even if you want to stay in Nanyang, that's impossible, you still have to go back to Kyoto Prefecture.

As for those who are willing to continue to search for the golden land with me, everyone is paid 50 taels of silver per month.

This amount of money is distributed on a monthly basis, and if something happens midway, the family can get an additional 500 taels of silver!

Go or stay, it's your choice when the time comes. "

Chapter 8 Nine Mutations

The three captains were surprised when they heard this.

I really didn't expect that they would have so many silver rewards?

And if you stay in Nanyang, you can get 100 taels a year. Doesn't that mean 500 taels for five years?

Even with 500 taels of silver, you can live a good life in Kyoto Prefecture, right?

And this is for ordinary soldiers, these captains must be treated differently.

When several people thought of this, their expressions changed a little. They subconsciously looked at each other, and they could all see joy in each other's eyes.

Bai Xiaochun winked at Zuo Fei behind him.

Zuo Fei understood immediately, and brought a sack.

Bai Xiaochun continued: "Of course, every three months, you can still receive letters from home, and you can also write letters and send them home.

If you don't know how to write, you will naturally send someone to help you. You say, they write. Starting today, here are the letters sent to you by your family.

Don't doubt the authenticity of these letters. I have thought about the things you have thought about a long time ago. These are the rules set by Lord Hou. "

When the three school captains heard the word 'Hou Ye', they felt much more at ease in their hearts. Looking at the sack, all of them had bright eyes.

They are Shenjiying, but they were Habayashi guards before, and they rarely leave home for such a long time, and they are homesick, which is human nature.

The flames lasted three months, and the family letter was worth ten thousand gold.

After leaving home for such a long time, there is nothing more comforting than a letter from home.

The three school lieutenants looked at the sack, and they couldn't wait, but they still didn't forget to salute Bai Xiaochun, and said respectfully: "Thank you my lord!"

Bai Xiaochun waved his hand, didn't seem to care, and said casually: "This letter is written with names on it, you can take it away. During this period of time, take precautions, it is inevitable that the natives of Nanyang will feel unwilling and want to trouble us."

"Yes, my lord!"

The three school lieutenants all bowed their hands and said yes, they turned and left with the sack of letters.

After they left, Bai Xiaochun looked at Zuo Fei beside him, and said, "Everyone is gone, find a place to sit, and there are some things I want to talk to you about."

"Yes, Mr. Bai."

Zuo Fei responded, found a chair and sat down, with a respectful look.

When Bai Xiaochun saw this scene, he wanted to say that it was unnecessary.

But after thinking about it, he seemed to be doing the same in front of the young master.

In this way, this can be regarded as a tradition in the Xin'anhou Mansion.

Therefore, he just smiled and said: "The aborigines in Nanyang are not so easy to deal with. Their king is called... I have forgotten what it is called, but he is not a cowardly king.

This time, I relied on the power of God to make them surrender and give us such a piece of land.

After a long time, they will definitely be impatient, and they may not suddenly turn their faces, but there will definitely be some assassins, spies, scouts, and secret agents, so you have to pay attention. "

Zuo Fei himself is a member of the city defense battalion, so he must have seen and understood a lot of similar things.

Therefore, when he heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, but just nodded.

Bai Xiaochun continued: "Other than that, if there is nothing else, try not to conflict with the natives of Nanyang, because after all, we are here to do business, not to burn, kill and loot.

The most important thing is that there are only 1000 people left for you, one less of these 1000 people is one less, and the next time you send someone to come, you have to wait until five years later, do you understand? "

"I understand." Zuo Fei nodded repeatedly.

Bai Xiaochun continued: "Shenji Battalion can only be appointed by the young master. For the rest, you can recruit more or less, but you can only give them the most basic weapons, not even firecrackers."

"Little understands."

"One more thing, in this place, there are more days than nights..."

Bai Xiaochun was also going to say some trivial things about the climate and food.

At this time, there was a loud noise outside the door.

bang——

It sounded a bit like Kamui's voice.

When Bai Xiaochun and Zuo Fei heard this voice, their expressions changed, and they hurriedly stood up from their chairs.

The servant outside the door also hurried in and said: "My lord, something seems to be wrong in the west!"

West?

Bai Xiaochun and Zuo Fei looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

The place they occupy is only a small piece in the southeast.

Compared to the entire Nanyang, it is really insignificant.

The rest are the natives of Nanyang.

So, it has nothing to do with me?

only......

Why does this voice sound so like Kamui?

Bai Xiaochun thought of this, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

At this time, there was another loud bang.

It is certain that Bai Xiaochun will continue.

This thing is Kamui!

Even if it's not divine power, it's almost the same as divine power.

Although Zuo Fei is not a member of Shenjiying, he is also someone who has seen Shenwei.

Hearing this voice, his expression also changed a little.

The first reaction was: "There is a traitor in the Shenji Camp? Did you leak the secret of Shenwei to the natives of Nanyang?"

When Bai Xiaochun heard this, he didn't deny it, but he didn't affirm it either.

He gets along with the people of Shenji Camp day and night, and knows them a little bit.

In any case, they can't do such a thing.

What's more, most of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion only know how to use the divine power and how to make it, but they don't know it at all.

Today's Shenji Battalion is no longer the Shenji Battalion where Heaven's Punishment was just researched a year ago.

Today's Shenji Battalion is divided into two parts, one part is called the research institute, which specializes in the study of various firearms, and the other part is these soldiers. The daily training is to practice how to operate these firearms.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for someone from the Shenji Camp to leak the secret.
