The happy life of a prodigal

Based on his character, he would definitely not give in. Maybe he was appreciated by An Guogong in the process of fighting with the officers and soldiers.

Hey......

It's not easy. This kid has been waiting for an opportunity. Everything is ready, but he was held back by the military system. Now there is an opportunity in front of him, but he seized it immediately. It's not easy, it's not easy. .....

Zhao Rui thought so, but felt a little regretful.

No matter what, this military village was also the place where he was born, raised, and raised.

Leaving home but not wanting to go home.

I always feel uncomfortable in my heart.

As he was thinking, a voice suddenly came from outside.

"Where is Mr. Zhao? I want to see Mr. Zhao!"

It was Zhao Feng's voice.

Everyone consciously gave way.

Zhao Feng walked quickly in front of Zhao Rui, and bowed respectfully: "I've seen Mr. Zhao!"

Zhao Rui looked at him, finally showed a smile on his expressionless face, and said, "You're back."

Zhao Feng nodded and said: "The humble job is back..."

After a pause, he said again: "Xiaozhi came back this time for the sake of your lord and brothers. Does your lord know that An Guogong wants to create a new army?"

Chapter 32 Treatment of New Army

"New Army?"

Zhao Rui was surprised when he heard this, and said, "This is the first time I've heard of it, what kind of knowledge does this new army have?"

Since Zhao Feng is willing to come back to find him, this explains some problems.

An Guogong is afraid that he intends to recruit their original soldiers and use them to form a new army.

It dawned on him.

Why did the Anguo Guild, which manages so many things every day, go all the way here and do so many things because of such a small matter as the military settlement.

When the military system was abolished, they did not even bat an eyelid.

It turned out that he had already thought about it.

It's just that after finally getting rid of the status of a soldier, many people are not willing to continue to be soldiers, so it's better to find out some things clearly.

As for unwillingness to join the pro-army, the Anguo Guild will not be behind.

On this point, Zhao Rui has only met An Guogong once, so he can be sure that An Guogong is not that kind of person!

Moreover, over the years, An Guogong has always kept his promises, and he has never failed to fulfill what he said.

A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold, but An Guogong's promise is more than a thousand pieces of gold!

Zhao Feng had long thought that Zhao Rui would ask himself this question, and replied: "This new army is based on the Shenji Battalion, whether it is weapons and equipment, training, or benefits, they are all the same as the Shenji Battalion."

Zhao Rui's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Although he had never seen what the Shenji Camp was like, he had heard of its name.

If everything is the same as Shenji Camp, it would be a good place to go!

Zhao Feng continued: "I have already inquired about the treatment of the Shenji Camp. First of all, it is a monthly salary. An ordinary soldier is two taels of silver. The ten commanders add five hundred coins, and the centurions add five hundred coins. The commander's words are five taels of silver, and the captain's is ten taels of silver a month.

In addition, it is food, clothing, housing and transportation. If he joins the new army, An Guogong can pay enough money to build enough houses for people with families to live in. Every festival, various food and bedding will be distributed. The gentleman personally intervened.

No one can move. I heard from people in the government that there was a captain in the Shenji Camp who withheld the clothes issued during the Ghost Festival and was sent directly to the dungeon of the government by An Guogong. There is no other nonsense. That's three years in prison.

Therefore, what the humble official said just now is something that can actually reach the hands of the brothers.

Others... There should be some benefits, but those people I know are the guards of An Guogong. They follow An Guogong on weekdays. They only saw some things, but they don't know the specific things about Shenji Camp , said only what they understood.

If your lord wants to join the new army, you can ask Duke An, he must be happy to tell you. "

After the words fell, Zhao Feng felt his throat dry and swallowed.

Looking up, he suddenly found that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes.

There was shock, envy, depression, and suspicion in those eyes...

Zhao Feng ignored those envious eyes, and directly looked at those who judged him with suspicious eyes, without giving in at all.

He said what he heard.

Although the guards in the mansion are not very serious sometimes, they are very reliable no matter what they do or what they say.

There is no need for them to deceive themselves about this matter.

Ordinary pawns can have two taels of silver a month?

At this moment, after Zhao Rui calmed down, some doubts arose in his heart.

It's not that he doubted what Zhao Feng said, nor did he suspect that the Anguo Guild lied about the benefits of the new army.

But, with so much silver, can An Guogong get it out?

There are only 1 people in the Shenji Camp.

After the formation of the new army, there must be more than 1 people.

Not counting the salaries of General Zhonglang, Captain, and Commander-in-Chief, just armor, weapons, especially firecrackers, these things added together, it is impossible to build up without 10 taels of silver a month.

He knew that An Guogong was never short of silver, but with so much silver, even An Guogong couldn't get it out, right?

Unless the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households are willing to fund An Guogong.

But everyone in the world knows that although An Guogong is the elder of Xiaoge, for some reason, he has a bad relationship with the people in Liubu.

Even the people in Liubu once thought of threatening An Guogong by suing him for illness.

Could it be that the Duke of Anguo's mansion paid out so much money?

Seeing Zhao Rui's expressionless face, Zhao Feng thought for a while, and added: "Before I came here, I had the consent of An Guogong, and An Guogong told me that if there are brothers who are willing to join the new army, they don't have to worry about the monthly salary.

As long as it is what An Guogong promised to the new army, even if the ancestral house is sold, it will definitely be done! "

Zhao Rui's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Not because of this promise, but because of this courage.

Even if the ancestral house is sold, it will definitely be done. The world is so big, how many people can make such a promise with their chests patted on their chests?

I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor may not be able to do so.

In the eyes of the princes in the court, this may be called being emotional, but in the eyes of a vulgar warrior like him, it just shows that An Guogong is a person who is extremely committed, not only honoring his promises, but also has enough responsibility!

He remembered that in the past, he had heard some rumors.

When An Guogong was just an unknown person, he once mortgaged his ancestral house in exchange for several thousand taels of silver.

At that time, many people thought that An Guogong was a dude, a prodigal son, and the scum of others.

Now that I think about it, maybe it was because of a certain promise that Duke An would do this!

For some reason, the face of that handsome young man with extraordinary temperament appeared in Zhao Rui's mind involuntarily.

"An Guogong..."

Zhao Rui muttered to himself.

Isn't someone like An Guogong the one I want to follow?

For a moment, Zhao Rui seemed to have figured it out, and finally made a decision, looked at Zhao Feng, and said firmly: "An Guogong is a leader among people, he is the Wenqu star and Bingqu star in the sky, and he can follow An Guogong. People, it is our honor!

If An Guogong wants to build a new army, then I must be the first batch of people to join the new army! "

Hearing this, Zhao Feng showed a smile on his face, nodded and said: "If your lord is telling the truth, you can follow me back to the mansion later, Lord An wants to see you."

Zhao Rui was startled slightly when he heard this, and asked: "If I said that what I just said was not the truth, but just polite words, what should I do?"

Zhao Feng said: "Before I came here, Lord An said that Zhao Rui is a talent, and there are too few people in the world who can sacrifice their own interests for his subordinates. Even if he is unwilling to join the new army, I respect him as a man. If there is any trouble, just ask him to come to the capital to find me, and I will solve it for him...

These are the original words of An Guogong. "

The first thousand and thirty-three chapters have no experience in humble jobs

When Zhao Rui heard this, he felt a warm current rushing through his heart, and he cupped his hands and said, "I will do my best, and I will die!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at his subordinates again, and asked, "I'll give you time to think about what to do. After I came back from Jinzhou Prefecture, I made a decision to join the new army." Stand on the left, and those who want to find another way stand on the right."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, then cupped their hands and said, "Yes, my lord!"

Zhao Rui looked at Zhao Feng, nodded slightly and said, "Let's go."

The two rode to the city of Jinzhou Prefecture.

At this moment, the city gate of Jinzhou Prefecture has been opened and no longer fortified.

Zhao Rui walked directly into Jinzhou City, followed Zhao Feng around a few times, and arrived at a mansion.

After knocking on the door to report, he walked in.

The area of ​​the mansion is very large, with a yard at the front and back.

In the front yard, the guards were chatting together, and when they saw Zhao Rui, they all cast appraising glances.

Zhao Rui looked straight ahead and didn't look at them, but he could feel that these guards looked ordinary, but in fact they were all top experts!

When passing the stables, I saw an old farmer feeding the horses in the stables.

It was the half-step master who knocked him flying with a whip that day!

Is the dignified half-step master just a groom beside An Guogong?

Of course not, maybe it was just to cover up his identity.

The worship relationship between the imperial court and An Guogong's mansion is not very good, and it is absolutely impossible to follow An Guogong.

Therefore, this groom can only be a half-step master in the arena.

And half-step masters are extremely rare, everyone has a name and surname, but I have never heard of anyone who has been enshrined in Anguo Gongfu.

But he didn't know who the groom was.

Thinking so, Zhao Rui had already arrived at the inner courtyard.

There was a reclining chair in the yard, and a handsome young man was lying on the reclining chair, basking in the sun and wearing a big cloak.

Standing next to him was a handsome maid, who from time to time picked up a piece of pastry and placed it near the young man's mouth.

If an uninformed person sees this scene, they will definitely feel that the person in front of him must be the prodigal son of a certain aristocratic family.

Who would have thought that this unruly dandy was the majestic Duke An?

Really can't judge people by appearance...

Zhao Rui let out a sigh of emotion, took a step forward, stood upright, and saluted respectfully: "Zhao Rui, the humble commander of the Jinzhou military station, see An Guogong!"

Hearing the voice, Fang Xiu raised his eyes to look at Zhao Rui, with a smile on his face, and said: "Here I come... I have been waiting for you for a long time, Zhao Feng told you about the new army, right? "

Zhao Rui nodded, and said: "Returning to An Guogong, I have heard that my lord is going to form a new army, and everything is based on the Shenji Battalion."

Fang Xiu looked at him and said: "Some places refer to the Shenji Camp, but some places may not refer to the Shenji Camp, especially you, I know that your place is near the sea, so I thought that if you are willing to join the new army .

Let you build a Jinzhou navy to stop the pirates..."

Jinzhou Navy.....

Stop pirates?

Zhao Rui was slightly taken aback, obviously not thinking of this.

Fang Xiu looked at him and said: "As for the benefits, they are the same as the Shenji Camp. Zhao Feng should have told you just now that ordinary soldiers will pay two taels of silver, and then increase upwards. The family can live in me as a god." A mansion built by Jiying.

It's just that this mansion may not be able to be built in a short period of time, other than that, there is nothing else. "

Hearing this, Zhao Rui showed hesitation on his face, thought for a while, and said: "But An Guogong, I don't have the experience of leading a navy in a humble position!"

After a pause, he added: "The soldiers under the humble staff also have no experience in fighting pirates. Although they have killed pirates, they were on the shore. If they met in the sea, they might not even be able to stand up. stable......"

He was telling the truth.
