Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

After reading this, Lizheng stopped, and then said with a smile: "Hurry up and thank Your Highness."

"Thank you, Your Highness, but Lizheng... My hand is missing three fingers, what else can I do?" Wang Tie stretched out his right hand, leaving only his thumb and index finger.

"Hey, don't you know your blessings while you are in the midst of blessings. Your Highness said that you and your family will be hired. This means that not only you, but also your mother-in-law are members of the service area, and His Highness is willing to hire everyone. I'll give you and your mother-in-law 150 Wen a month!" Li Zheng said, hating that iron can't be made into steel.

"Ah?!" Wang Tie was really surprised this time, 150 Wen a month? !This... And it's him and his wife?This means that they can earn much more than farming in one year!

"This... Lizheng, can I know what His Highness wants us to do? My mother-in-law and I will only be able to farm. I'm afraid of delaying His Highness's business." Wang Tie scratched his head and said hesitantly.

"Since His Highness asked you to go, you must be able to help His Highness. Haven't you seen it? Your Highness is sympathetic to you, otherwise why did you specifically look for a retired government soldier like you? Isn't it because you once made an appointment?" Meritorious service? Besides, how much grain can we get in the land here in Sanliu Village in a year? It's just enough to make ends meet, why don't you hurry up?" Li Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said.

"This...then I'll go, but Lizheng, I want to know, what should I do here?" Wang Tie hesitated.

"It's not easy. Your Highness gave you an idea. You can distribute your land to other people in the village, and ask them to give you half of the food. Anyway, your Majesty Yongyetian will give you free money." tax."

"This...okay." Wang Tie thought for a while, and he simply agreed, leaving the fields for the people in the village to plant. Although they could only get half of the grain, they were not wasted. They should all be very willing. If His Highness doesn't need me there, I can come back and continue farming in the future.

"Then it's settled. Tomorrow, you will gather at the post station on the official road near Xiaohe Village next door. Your Highness's future tasks will be there. Anyway, the grain in the field has already been planted this year. You will find time to come back and collect it." Already, let the village help out when the time comes, you give them some food." Li Zheng said.

"By the way, you can pack your clothes tomorrow, and you can tell the neighbors to look after them at home. Bring all the valuables, and the family of four will go there!" Li Zheng explained again.

"Yes!" Wang Tie agreed.

After Lizheng left, Wang Tie's mother-in-law and children looked over in confusion, "Master, what... His Royal Highness King Qin wants us to do? This is giving us so much money." Wang Tie's mother-in-law asked hesitantly.

"I don't know, but it's a good thing. I didn't hear it because of my meritorious performance, so I gave us this opportunity?" Wang Tie said.

"But... isn't it good for us to farm at home? Work for His Highness, and His Highness will pay such a high monthly fee... But we don't know anything. If we mess up what we do for Your Highness... will it Will it...will it..." 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 Highness gives such a high monthly fee, she is not at ease with it, and she is afraid that something will happen to her.From her point of view, even though her husband had been a soldier in the government and killed the enemy, it was considered meritorious service.

But that's all in the past, and His Majesty also gave a reward to exempt their family from the permanent tax of Yongyetian. For her, it is already satisfied.

"Hey, don't think about it, didn't you listen? It was ordered by His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, and then His Highness King Qin personally recruited me because I have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. It must be His Highness Qin who is sympathetic to us. Otherwise, how could Hiring me as a cripple? This must be a good thing, so don’t worry about it.” After all, Wang Tie went out to fight and gained insight, comforting him.

"Then... I'll go and pack my things." Mrs. Wang Tie immediately agreed silently.

Wang Tie went out to find the village chief. Sanliu Village is not big, with a total of less than [-] households. It is located in a relatively remote place in Lanzhou. The name of Willow Village can be seen from 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 of the field every year can only barely maintain food and clothing, and there is not much food to save, and what is saved is just to avoid disaster years.

The village chief already knew about Wang Tie's affairs, so he reassured him that the affairs of the village were left to him.

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 was about one mile away from Xiaohe Village, but the speed of the carriage was not fast. When Wang Tie and the others arrived near the post station, he immediately saw a few acquaintances, all of whom were from the nearby village and had served as soldiers with him.

Now everyone is here.

However, Wang Tie came late, and when he arrived at the place, Wang Tie found that they were right next to the post station.

And there is a caravan already waiting here.

Seeing Wang Tie and the others come 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 and make a bet." The middle-aged man pointed to a booklet and said.

Wang Tie could know a few words, but not many, and he could recognize his own name. It was like a roll call, and Wang Tie immediately put a tick behind his name.

"Okay, it's almost time for people to arrive, 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 once recruited 5000 disabled veterans in Chang'an, mainly because he was afraid of you. After these veterans leave the army, life is difficult."

"And this time, I tried every means to set up these positions for you. Your Highness said that you have made contributions to the Great Tang. You are the heroes of the Great Tang. Although countless people in the Great Tang may not remember you, His Highness will not forget you. You! Datang will never forget you! Your Highness said, the heroes of Datang cannot be left to bleed and starve!" Zhang Jiu waited for Wang Tiehua to finish betting, and then said sincerely.

The eye circles of Wang Tie and other veterans were a little red in an instant. The touch was part of it, and it was more of a kind of excitement and a sense of honor that filled their chests after they had made their own contributions, but someone finally remembered it!

Wang Tie and a few veterans went straight to Datang's military salute, and said loudly: "I wish to die for Datang!"

Zhang Jiu and the people around the caravan immediately bowed down to salute them.

"Everyone, the task His Highness gave you this time is very simple, or in other words, this is not a task. You should have seen this large open space." Zhang Jiu pointed to a large large open road next to the post station.

Everyone nodded.

"That's right, this piece of open land will belong to the Xiaohe service area in the future! Later, we will gradually find someone to enclose this area. You should have seen that the line has been drawn on the ground, and this time we brought over food. , iron pans, tents, seasonings, etc.”

"Actually, what His Highness told you to do is very simple, that is, Your Highness will provide food, iron pots, cooking materials, etc., and then you cook and sell them to the caravans that come and go! The price of the meals has already been calculated for you. Alright, you just need to prepare your meals."

"As for the profits from meals, you will keep them yourself." Zhang Jiu said with a smile.

"Ah?" Wang Tie and all the soldiers in the government were already dumbfounded. Is this called living?Isn't this sending money?Then His Highness gave them monthly money!

"This... my lord, we can't do this. Isn't this taking advantage of His Highness? His Highness gave us monthly money again, but we have to keep the profit from the food we sold. How can there be such a thing in this world?" Such a reason? Moreover, His Highness provided all the tools in this place." Wang Tie hurriedly said.

"Yes! We can't do this! There is no such reason in the world." Several other soldiers also hurriedly said.

"Everyone, listen to me, in fact, the job His Highness gave you is to allow you to stay in this service area in the future to do business and live, but there are not many caravans in the early stage, and you will definitely not make much money a month, and your hands There is no money in it, so His Highness gives you monthly money to help you survive the most difficult early stage."

"When the money you earn here every month is enough to stabilize your life, His Highness will not send you monthly money at that time. What's more, if you do it yourself, you won't have the money to buy food in the early stage , Buy iron pots, buy salt, buy these tents! So, let’s keep these things in the accounts for now, and if you earn enough money to buy these things, then you will be responsible for your own profits and losses.” Zhang Jiu laughed a few times soundtrack.

Wang Tie and the others blushed a little. This is indeed the reason. They have no money now.

"Okay, everyone, this service area is also related to His Highness's next strategy, so everyone just follow His Highness's instructions!" Zhang Jiu saw their embarrassment, and immediately changed the subject with a smile.
