Be a master through ancient times
Chapter 70
"Boss, you can't go on like this. It's been three or four days, and we've only recruited a dozen people, which is a bit far from the one hundred places allocated to us." Chang Hu propped his head and said weakly.
"Then what can I do? It's posted here in black and white, and they can't come here. What can I do? Anyway, our stall recruits the most." Wang Quan said helplessly.
The dozen or so recruited were all skinny monkeys. If they were not from poor families and wanted the two taels of silver, they probably wouldn't have come.
"When will our Baihu be free? I think it's better for our Baihu to stand in front of the stall, and people will definitely come by then."
Chang Hu was fantasizing, when he was knocked on the head suddenly, he yelled out.
"You kid, how dare you think, let our hundred households come over to stand guard? You can just say that you are selling your lust." Wang Quan looked at Chang Hu with contempt.
Chang Hu snorted, not daring to think about it anymore.He looked around boredly, and suddenly saw a familiar figure, so happy that he quickly tugged at the corner of Wang Quan's clothes.
"Ai ai ai ai, do you think that is our Kou Baihu? Why is there a little boy next to him, not too skinny." Chang Hu shouted excitedly.
His voice was so loud that the two people not far away could hear him clearly.Standing beside Kou Jing, Chu Ci's face darkened, heh, young man, very good, you have successfully caught my attention!
"What are you talking about? Apologize quickly." When the two of them approached, Wang Quan saw Kou Baihu's face, and immediately patted Chang Hu on the head again.Chang Hu didn't know why, but he obediently said sorry.
"This is Chu Ci Chu Xiucai. Ci brother, his name is Wang Quan, one of my general banners. His name is Chang Hu, and he is a soldier." When Kou Jing introduced to both parties, his tone was completely different.
"The two strong men are polite." Chu Ci greeted with a smile.
"Chu Xiu is good." Both of them also bowed cautiously.
"Wang Quan, how many people have you recruited?" Kou Jing saw that the stall was deserted, so she asked about the situation.
"Baihu, I recruited six people in the past three days, maybe two in a day." Wang Quan was a little embarrassed.
"So little?" Kou Jing frowned.
"Hundred households, Lao Hu's recruited five, Zhong Bao's only three, and Dou Bing's also three. The people here are well-off, not as bitter and cold as ours in Mobei, and naturally there are fewer soldiers." Wang Wang There was no choice but to tell Kou Jing the results observed in the past few days.
"You recruit like this?" Chu Ci looked around, and pointed to a sign standing next to it, on which was pasted a white paper with the words conscription.
"We all do it like this, don't we?" Chang Hu asked, seeing this young scholar with delicate features and delicate features, his body was so weak that he would collapse in the wind, so he felt somewhat disapproving of his doubts.
"Hey, you guys should have a sense of innovation. How can you find suitable soldiers like this? You just posted two big characters here, and basically everyone who can read has gone to study. If he didn't go to study, it is usually If you don’t know how to read, just post two large characters here, and no one will know what you’re doing, and you’re so vicious that no one will dare to ask you.”
Chu Ci can be regarded as revenge for being called a little boy just now, and Kou Jing couldn't help laughing seeing the slightly smug expression on his face.
Where am I so vicious?Chang Hu thought aggrievedly.But what he said was right. The few recruited before had basically read a little.In fact, there were not only those six who came to sign up, but they couldn't meet the conditions for conscription.
First of all, you must be over 16 years old, and secondly, you must be over five feet two inches tall to pass, and you must not be too thin. Although the recruits are thin, they are still quite strong, and this kind of cultivation is back.
Could it be the reason for not being able to read the words?Wang Quan and Chang Hu looked at each other, they also learned to read a few characters in the military camp, the military adviser arranged for the chief to teach, and whoever didn't study hard would get punched.
"Then what should we do? How about we shout a few times here?" Chang Hu suggested.
Wang Quan looked at the pedestrians on the street, and said harshly, "You go." Chang Hu quit immediately, "Why did I go? Boss, your voice is louder, you should come and call."
"Are you the boss or I am the boss? If you want me to do everything, why do you need a kid? Call!" Wang Quan raised his leg and kicked him on the ass.
Chang Hu had no choice but to stand up awkwardly.He cleared his throat first, then cleared his throat again, then hummed softly and called out "conscription".
"Aren't you in need of a beating, brat? Just call yourself that, who can you attract? Louder!"
"Zheng--bing." Chang Hu yelled "Zheng" vigorously, and softened when he reached the word Bing.
"Boss, yell, I can't yell anyway! Let's think about what else to do!" Chang Hu wanted to cry, he was quite comfortable talking just now, why is it so awkward to ask him to yell?
Chu Ci secretly laughed at the side, which attracted Chang Hu's glaring. "You little scholar, are you deliberately teasing us?"
"You can't shout it yourself, how can you blame me?"
"Then you shout!"
"It's not my conscription, why should I call?" Chu Ci hid behind Kou Jing, wantonly provoking this Chang Xiaohu.
"Forget it, you can close the stall today, call other people, and go back to Kou's mansion first, and we will figure out a way together in the evening." Kou Jing saw that Wang Quan was also silent, and instead of sitting and waiting , it is better to think of a proper way, it is best to recruit people within a day or two, and then take them back after training, so as not to fail in time.
"Brother Mo, are you going back tonight?" Chu Ci was a little bit reluctant.This Kou Jingjing seemed silent, but chatting with him was quite speculative.Living together these few nights, Chu Ci finally experienced the taste of talking at night while holding candles.
Moreover, Kou Jingjing's academic level is also high, and he solves problems quickly and well. He still wants to learn a little more.
"Brother Ci, I'm sorry, I'm doing military affairs for my brother, and the troops are not ready yet, so I still need to take care of it, and when I have time, I will swim with my virtuous brother." Kou Jing also wanted to talk to this virtuous brother , read books.He found that the real person Chuci was a little more interesting than what was shown in the letter.
Lei's Chang Hu couldn't help shaking his goosebumps in the greasy atmosphere between the two, and he whispered to Wang Quan, "Look, boss, this is why I don't like the little boy. He was brought by Huhu, who used to be an upright and straightforward man, but now he has become like this."
Kou Jing and Wang Quan suddenly fell silent. Chang Hu's voice was not loud when it should be loud, but when it should be small, it burst its ears like a monkey jumping into the sky.Chu Ci looked at Chang Hu with a half-smile, okay, man, you have successfully attracted my attention again!
After saying goodbye to Wang Chang, Kou Jing followed Chu Ci to Xu Zheng's side.After walking for a while, he suddenly said, "Brother Ci, Chang Hu has no bad intentions. He grew up in the north, and he is getting used to being outspoken."
Chu Ci turned his head and looked at him sideways: "You speak for him, do you think that I have a small belly and hold grudges?"
Kou Jing was dazzled by the corner of his upturned eyes, and after hearing his words clearly, she immediately denied: "Brother resignation, why would you think that way as a brother? I just don't want to make you unhappy."
Chu Ci chuckled: "Brother Mo, you are worrying too much. I just saw the child is cute and teased him."
Child?cute?
Kou Jing frowned and said, "Don't look at him like this, in fact, he is already nineteen this year."
Is nineteen still young?Chu Ci thought about it first, and then realized that he was only 19 years old now.He laughed twice, and then said: "It turns out that you are so big, but your temper is similar to my family's Chu Xiaoyuan. In front of you is Mr. Xu's house. You can go with me, and I will see if I can bring you in too." Get to know him."
Kou Jing nodded and followed him to Xu Zheng's gate.Chu Ci knocked on the door, and the loyal man opened the door and said, "Master Chu, you can go in directly, the master is in the backyard."
"No hurry, little brother Xu, can you inform me and the old man that I have a friend who came with me, and he also wants to visit the old man, I wonder if it is possible?"
"Okay, I'll go in and report."
"What? He brought friends here today? This bastard, he brought people around when he couldn't eat?" Xu Zheng muttered to himself, "Forget it, you bring people in."
"Yes."
Kou Jing walked in with Chu Ci, and when she saw the specially arranged backyard, she also felt very comfortable in her heart. They were from the military, and they were actually not used to the chaotic environment.
As soon as Xu Zheng saw Kou Jing, he squinted his eyes and looked at it. Chu Ci was afraid that Xu Zheng would say that the scar on Kou Jing's face was asymmetrical, so he stood in front of Xu Zheng and introduced: "Mr. Xu, this is my good friend. , whose surname is Kou and whose name is Jing and whose name is Mozhi. Brother Mo, this is Mr. Xu."
"The boy has met Mr. Xu." Kou Jing bent down and performed a scholar's salute.
"Is your father named Kou Qingong?"
Kou Jing was stunned for a moment, then replied: "My late father tabooed the word Min for hard work. If what Mr. Xu said is correct, then he would be my father."
"Father? Your father..."
"My late father lingered on the sick bed for a long time, and then he drove west."
"Heaven is jealous of talents. He is younger than me, but he entered school earlier than me. I have even read the essays he wrote in the imperial examination." Mr. Xu felt a little sentimental.
When Kou Jing mentioned her late father, she felt a little disappointed.Chu Ci touched him with his hand to show comfort.
"I see that you are imposing, so you must not come to ask me for advice, right?"
"The boy has heard my brother praise him many times, and I have a faint respect in my heart, so I take the liberty to visit. Please don't be offended, sir."
"It's okay, you're pretty good at talking, but, what kind of good things can you say about me, boy Chu?" Xu Zheng looked at Chu Ci, seeing him smile flatteringly, he didn't say anything more, but looked directly at Chu Ci article.
As he flipped through the pages, he kept asking Kou Jing questions. Kou Jing was also very calm, and she didn't hide her secrets when asked, and said whatever she thought.
Chu Ci looked at the two men in admiration. He thought that his article was well done, but he didn't expect that compared with the real learned man, there were still many shortcomings.
Chu Ci picked up the pen next to him, recorded the conversation between the two, and quietly acted as an observer.
In the quiet backyard, there were only a few occasional questions and answers, and the wind spread farther and farther.The three sat in a circle, and the atmosphere was very peaceful.
When later generations visited the former residence of Confucianism, they were also fortunate to see these statues. They were smiling, as if they had never left.
"Then what can I do? It's posted here in black and white, and they can't come here. What can I do? Anyway, our stall recruits the most." Wang Quan said helplessly.
The dozen or so recruited were all skinny monkeys. If they were not from poor families and wanted the two taels of silver, they probably wouldn't have come.
