The happy life of a prodigal

I think you are quite suitable to be a soldier. "

"Me? Is it suitable to be a pawn? You, you, you are avenging yourself!" Zhao Ziping pointed at Fang Xiu with a trembling voice.

Fang Xiu ignored him, looked at him, and said: "I have already made a decision. In this city of Jinzhou, the recruitment of soldiers starts from you. I will tell you first how I recruited soldiers." .

It's very simple, if you come here alone, you are a pawn, start from the beginning, when you reach the centurion, the official will let you go back, and let you be your scholar again, if you can't become a centurion, you Just stay in the Jinzhou Guard, stay well, and fight pirates and bandits in normal times, which can be regarded as sharing your uncle's worries.

Of course, if you can bring five people over, I will let you be the captain of the corps, if you can bring twenty people over, I will let you be the tenth commander, and if you can bring a hundred people over, then I will let you To be a centurion, if you can bring a thousand people over, I will let you be a thousand commander.

If you can bring [-] people here, I will make you a captain, if you can bring [-] people, I will make you a general...

Look, how is it? "

"..." Zhao Ziping was completely stunned when he heard this.

It was the first time he had heard of such a recruitment of soldiers.

If it was true as he said, if he summoned the soldiers from the mansion, he might be able to gather a hundred people, and he could become a centurion himself.

He is still very self-aware, and he knows in his heart what he is.

Just like me, can I be a centurion?

It would be nice to be a pawn, bah!

I am a scholar, how can I be Qiu Ba!

But this hateful guy said again that he would let him go back only if he became a centurion.

For a while, Zhao Ziping was caught in a tangle.

On the one hand, he didn't want to be Qiu Ba, but on the other hand, he was forced by the situation and didn't know what to do.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu didn't press too hard, but said: "I will give you three days, if within three days, you can bring me a hundred qualified soldiers, then I will Promote you to be a centurion.

If you want to go back to study, go back to study, if you don't want to study, stay here and be a centurion, I believe that during this period of time, I can train you to become a real centurion... ..”

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing this smile, Zhao Ziping trembled subconsciously.

Xindao: No matter what, I will not let you succeed!I just find a hundred people and leave, so I won't be Qiu Ba!This son is a scholar!

He thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out. The reason was very simple. He was afraid that Fang Xiu would change his mind again, so he just responded, nodded and said, "Okay, it's a deal!"

Then he turned and left.

There are only three days, and every minute and every second is precious. The total number of servants in his house must not be able to get a hundred people, so he still needs to buy servants from other aristocratic families, If he can't buy a servant, he can only recruit soldiers by himself.

If someone really wanted to be a soldier, he would definitely not bother to follow him. Therefore, he definitely needed to prepare some money for the promise of great interest.

Hey......

Now I don't know how much money I will spend.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ziping gave Fang Xiu a bitter look, but ran away quickly without saying anything.

When Xiu'er saw this scene, she was naturally very puzzled, and asked curiously: "Young master, why do you insist on letting this dude be a soldier?"

Fang Xiu glanced at Xiu'er, with a smile on his face, and said lightly: "Actually, there is no particular reason, but it is interesting. If there is any reason, it is who made him put himself as a scholar in Tianjin all day long. The state capital city is nagging.

He kept on talking like this all day long, and the people in Jinzhou Prefecture felt that dandies are proud of scholars and ashamed of warriors. Wouldn't it be more difficult for my young master to recruit soldiers, and this can be regarded as his punishment.. ...."

Chapter One Thousand and Seven

When Xiu'er heard this, her face was stunned, she nodded heavily, and said: "Master is worthy of being a master, he thinks more than slaves."

Fang Xiu smiled, waved his hands, and said leisurely: "Low-key, low-key..."

Since King Ning's rebellion, it was rare to see the young master joking with her, Xiu'er covered her mouth and giggled.

the other side.

Zhao Ziping left the city gate without staying outside, and went straight back to Zhao Mansion.

The master of the Zhao family went to the capital because of business problems, but he hasn't come back yet.

He was the only talker in the entire Zhao Mansion.

Therefore, as soon as he returned to the Zhao Mansion, the first thing he did was to gather all the servants in the mansion together.

"Pass on my son's order, as long as everyone is a man, as long as they are still panting, all come to this son!"

After the words fell, the little follower who followed him showed surprise on his face, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "My lord, is it everyone?"

Zhao Ziping glanced at him, and said angrily: "Isn't what I said clear enough? All those who can breathe come to me!"

Ever since the young master claimed to be a scholar, it seems that he has rarely lost his temper and done some inexplicable things like today.

What happened today?

The little follower didn't dare to ask any more questions, but just responded: "Yes, young master, I'll do it now."

Hastily called someone to go.

Although the Zhao family is a famous family in this Jinzhou Prefecture, there is a prefect of Jinzhou and many scholars. Besides, Zhao Ziping's father, who is now the talker of the Zhao household , is doing business, transporting things from Kyoto Prefecture to Jinzhou Prefecture, and then transporting them to Dongnan Road by ship to earn the difference in price.

In just one or two years, the mansion of the Zhao Mansion was doubled or tripled, which shows how much money this business makes.

Therefore, during this period of time, a lot of new servants were recruited, let alone, the number is really not small.

At this moment, the servants of the entire Zhao Mansion stood together, lined up in a row, quietly, not daring to say a word.

Although the young master has become different after studying, the phenomenon of beating and scolding when he disagrees with him has disappeared, but who knows if it will reappear?

Therefore, everyone lowered their heads and said nothing.

Zhao Ziping walked in front of them, swayed around, and didn't speak.

When everyone saw this scene, their hearts became more and more disturbed, and their heads were buried even lower.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ziping was very satisfied.

In front of that guy, I can't lift my head up, so what?

Back at the mansion, I am still that Mr. Zhao!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help thinking about Qiu Ba's matter again, and his face suddenly became ugly again.

Three days is really a little short.

These people in front of them are old and young, not to mention whether they can be soldiers, but the number is not enough at all!

Zhao Ziping glanced at these people, and then asked: "Do you know why my son asked you to come here?"

Everyone lowered their heads, said nothing, and kept silent.

"Huh? No one said anything?" Zhao Ziping frowned, and said angrily, "Could it be that you want to be beaten!"

After the words fell, everyone trembled in unison, which greatly satisfied Zhao Ziping's vanity.

See, I, Zhao Ziping, still have the prestige!

"Forget it, I don't want to scare you guys, let me tell you the truth, I let you come here to share the worries of my father, your master..."

After the words fell, everyone's hearts were cold.

Who is their young master, they still don't know?

What worries can my young master share for my master!If you can avoid causing disaster, then you are burning incense and worshiping Buddha!

When the young master said that, he was afraid that something would happen again, and he wanted to catch fish.

The meaning of Moyu is very simple, find a scapegoat!

According to Fang Xiu, he was the one who took the blame.

Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads, lowering their heads even lower.

"Look at you, this end is about to be buried in the ground. I know that, but you don't believe what I said. Then I asked you, do you know why my father is going to the capital?"

While talking, Zhao Ziping took out the folding fan from his arms, and fanned himself slowly.

Not to mention, he really looks like an expert.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.

When Zhao Ziping saw this scene, he could feel Fang Xiu's feeling at that time. In a word, it can be summed up in one word - cool!

"Say it quickly, if you don't, I'm going to beat someone!"

After the words were finished, a younger servant hurriedly said: "My guess is that the shipping business is not very good, and the master has gone to the capital to find a way out."

Zhao Ziping snapped his fingers, looked at the talking boy, and said with a smile: "Isn't that right, even you all know that the shipping business is not very good, wouldn't everyone in the world know it that day.

Let me ask you something rare, do you know why the shipping business is not good? "

The young man lowered his head, and said cautiously: "The young one just heard from others, but the specific reason, the young one doesn't know."

A lot of news, in the eyes of Fang Xiu, or ordinary children of aristocratic families, is just a matter of a word when others are chatting, and it is not considered news at all.

However, among these young men, it is rare to hear, every word is very important.

Therefore, most people don't know about the news of what happened in Nanyang, because there is no newspaper in Zhuxuanzhai.

Only when Zhuxuanzhai saw the newspaper, many ordinary people could know about it.

In fact, the Nanyang incident happened for more than a day or two, but the Zhuxuanzhai newspaper never mentioned this incident, the reason is self-evident.

I don't want most people to know about Nanyang.

But after all, someone can get the news from other channels.

Zhao Ziping fanned himself, with an air of wisdom, and said leisurely: "I tell you the truth, it is because there are too many pirates, besides the pirates, there are too many barbarians. , our Dachu's Shenji Battalion is invincible in the world.

However, this sailor is relatively exhausted because he hasn't gained experience for a long time. Compared with those pirates, he is a little worse.

To put it bluntly, our navy can't beat those pirates, and there will naturally be problems with shipping, which is a normal thing.

This, logically speaking, is not something we should do, but who asked my father to do this kind of business.

Now that my son has seen it and knows it, he can't just sit idly by. Therefore, do you know why I called you here? "

Zhao Ziping looked around for a week, his eyes were burning, and he asked.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The boys have not read much, and they don't know any words. If you tell them the most straightforward words, they have to think carefully, let alone Zhao Ziping's way of asking.

Therefore, all the boys listened in a cloud of fog and didn't understand the point of what Zhao Ziping said at all.

There was only one person, muttering in a low voice: "Could it be that we are going to fight those pirates?"

He just blurted it out because he knew exactly what he was.

Not to mention killing Hai Koubo, even asking him to kill a chicken would probably kill him.

Not only him, which of the servants in this house is not like this?

Even if it is fighting pirates, it is the matter of the guards in the house, and it has nothing to do with them.

Certainly not because of this.

What is that for?

The boy fell into deep contemplation, but with a casual glance, he suddenly found that his son was staring at him with very strange eyes, his eyes were burning.

He was very familiar with that look, and he saw that Yinzi was the young master's look.

Seeing this scene, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought: No way, did you really let yourself guess right?

Before he had time to verify, he heard the son's voice.

"Just now... what was your name?"

Zhao Ziping pointed to the talking boy and asked.

Seeing his young master pointing at him, the young fellow felt completely chilled, and said cautiously, "My name is Liu Er."

"Well, Liu Er, it's a good name." Zhao Ziping nodded pretendingly, and said leisurely: "Just now Liu Er said that he wants you to fight pirates, but it's not such an exaggeration.

This young master knows who you are, and if you say it harshly, it is not much better than this young master. You are all powerless, so it would be too difficult for you to fight pirates.

My son just wants you to contribute a little bit of your strength to the eradication of pirates. This strength doesn’t have to be fighting, cooking, and cleaning weapons. "
