"Then you didn't give it to me, so you just took it to scare the profiteer. Good guy, you're just doing a lot of work on your relationship..."
"Hehe, I'm just on my way. Besides running errands and getting things done..."
Yes, this is another shameless person. He used the power that was originally given to Xiao Han to pretend to be a fox. After the matter was over, he still had the shame to claim credit. As expected, he did not lose the shameless tradition of the army. Xiao Han could only sigh that he had encountered
Unkind people...
Luo Wen was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he patted Xiao Han's shoulder triumphantly and said loudly: "Xiao Han, my brother is not leaving tonight. You see that my brother went to you overnight to deal with the profiteers yesterday, so you must do it."
I ordered it for my brother. For this meal, from morning to noon, he didn’t eat a single bite of food, so he’s just waiting here for this bite from you!”
"That's obviously my face..."
"Then I have no merit, but he still has hard work, right? Brothers are here. If you come out with meager income, aren't you destroying your own brand?"
Seeing Luo Wen blowing his beard and glaring, pretending to be angry, Xiao Han couldn't help but laugh.
He was not really depressed to begin with, he was just joking with his friends. After laughing, he pulled Rowan proudly and said: "Hahahaha, just kidding! We don't have anything else here, but we still have some good food and wine.
You don’t know that since I came here, the price of pigs in the surrounding counties has increased..."
"Oh? Why did the price increase... Oh! Got it, hahaha..."
Luo Wen, who was half a beat too slow to react, was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Xiao Han was referring to. He laughed out loud a few times and then pointed around: "Xiao Hou, to be honest, brother is actually pretty good."
I admire you. I heard from Manager Chai Shao that when you came here, this place was still a barren land."
"It's barren there? It's obviously covered with grass. A while ago, it was full of mosquitoes. It was hard to sleep well at night. Fortunately, there are a lot of reed sticks here. Lighting one can also repel mosquitoes, but it's too smoky.
Got it!"
"...It seems that the situation is worse than what Manager Chai said, but now it seems that although the scale is still small, it is much more organized than the villages and towns I have seen, as you know
, We soldiers like this kind of orderliness. If it weren’t for the ancestral inheritance in our family, I would also like to move here for a long time like brother Zhang Qiang..."
"What's so difficult about this? I'll leave you a house. Brother Luo can come and live here when he wants to. I also have a school here. In the future, I want to find more teachers. Our boys can do it too.
Come to school, and we brothers in the military camp will work hard for a lifetime, so won’t we fight for a future for our children and grandchildren?”
Xiao Han said so righteously that he didn't realize that Luo Wen had stopped and looked a little strange.
After taking several steps, Xiao Han realized it and turned around and shouted to Luo Wen: "What's wrong? Let's go?"
Luo Wen's face was a little painful, and he bared his teeth and cupped his hands to Xiao Han: "Xiao Hou, my brother is a rough man, and he doesn't have so many crooked ways. I can't accept this arrogant brother, but if you have anything to say, Xiao Hou can just say it directly
He said, brother, if I can do it, I will definitely do it for you. If I can’t do it, you can move the Crystal Palace here. Brother, I am really incompetent..."
Sure enough, the ancients were actually the same intellectually as modern people, or even more so. If you think the ancients were stupid, it was just that they did not have a high vision for new things, but if you treat them as fools, then you don’t know who the fool is...
…
Xiao Han has recently developed a thicker skin than before. He didn't give out any gifts and didn't even blush. He came over with a smile and pulled Luo Wen and continued to move forward: "Brother Luo, you are too vigilant. I am not bribing you."
Those military supplies suppliers, I just saw that many people in our military camp are much older and are still fighting on the battlefield. I really can't bear it. Isn't the King of Qin also training the new army recently? These old people, too
After fighting for a lifetime, it’s time to take a break. As you can see, my land is vast and sparsely populated. I am really short of people, and outsiders don’t dare to ask for them..."
"After much deliberation, did you focus on your own people?"
After figuring out Xiao Han's purpose, Luo Wen regained his vigilance and his steps became light again.
Xiao Han smiled and punched Luo Wen: "What does making up your mind mean? Let me ask you, look at my place, okay?"
"It's okay. Apart from being a little newer, it only looks a little better, so it's not really good..."
"What about my title?"
"County son, there are a lot of them in the court, but the fiefdom is quite close to Chang'an! The title is also obtained by relying on real achievements, so it's not bad."
"Where am I as a person?"
"Well, it goes without saying that you are a miracle doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded in the military camp. Here, I see you will soon become a good person who will become a Buddha in every family!"
"Then do you think those retired veterans should come and settle here?!"
"That's right!" Luo Wen, who was surrounded by Xiao Han, spat out the word without thinking, but as soon as he said it, he immediately regretted it...
"But, Xiao Hou, you are too close to Chang'an. If I bring you a veteran of 1,800 soldiers, and you can produce the best armor weapons, what do you want the emperor to think? I guess the next day
, our brothers’ heads are hanging on the flagpole..."
"Don't ask for a thousand or eight hundred, just one or two hundred..."
"One or two hundred is not enough! You know that veterans are wealth. Last time you got fifty households, the generals in the army felt as if a piece of flesh had been shaved off their hearts..."
"Lao Luo, it's wrong for you to say that..."
Xiao Han saw Luo Wen's troubled look and sighed: "Veterans are wealth, but they are also human beings. Although being shrouded in horse leather is an honor, everyone wants to die on the battlefield in the end?"
But Rowan doesn't accept this trick at all. He is a talented killer and will spend his whole life on the battlefield. If he doesn't fight for another day, he probably won't know what he should do.
"Yes, I know, veterans are human beings, but in this world, there are wars everywhere, and those who don't fight are all killed. It's not good for you to poach someone openly..."
"I'm not that good at digging. There are only about a hundred households. If you just see new armor and new cement coming out of my place, you may not know what will come out in the future. You have to let me protect these things..."
"I have to protect you, but I know that King Qin said he would send you a team of soldiers, but you still don't want it..."
"A team of soldiers? They don't listen to my command. They stay there every day, just like a supervisor. Do you need me to study new things?"
When Xiao Han said this, he started to complain. He was so impressed by Ren Qing at the beginning, but now he feels bad when he thinks about it. That's not all. There are so many secrets here. How dare outsiders come in? Those fifty households of veterans,
Until now, I can only walk on this side of the river, and can't go to the other side of the river, because I'm worried about people with ulterior motives sneaking in.
Along the way, neither of them could argue with each other. They had already seen the door. Xiao Han and Luo Wen had to shake hands and make peace for the time being, and then eat first! The world is huge, and eating is the biggest thing...
Because they had been prepared in advance, when the two of them arrived at the restaurant, the fat chef had already prepared a table full of vegetables. There were very few vegetables and all were meat. They were as rustic as the nouveau riche of the 1970s and 1980s.
There is no aristocratic atmosphere at all, and a few large coarse porcelain bowls filled with wine take this country style to a higher level...
They laughed and washed their hands, sat down separately for the guests of honor, and exchanged a few more polite words. As soon as the two of them picked up their chopsticks, Zhang Qiang, who had not been seen all day, walked in from outside. I don’t know who Zhang Qiang learned his ability to catch up on.
of……
"Rowan, haha, you're not dead yet..."
"Haha, Zhang Qiang, oh, if you don't stand in front of me, how can I dare to go in front of you..."
As expected, they were brothers who had been hurting each other since they were in the army. This smiling and scolding skill made Xiao Han feel inferior to him.
After exchanging a few words, Zhang Qiang also dragged a chair and sat down, saying that it was the rule to drink three glasses of wine first!
"Zhang Qiang...Zhang Qiang, take it easy, my stomach is full, please let me eat some first..."
After three glasses of wine, Luo Wen stuck out his tongue and gasped. Xiao Han's wine was not meant to be drunk like this. After three glasses of wine, his stomach was burning. When he saw Zhang Qiang, he started to pick up the jar and pour the wine again.
, quickly put the wine glass in his arms.
Zhang Qiang is willing to let Luo Wen cheat. I remember that in the past, Luo Wen took advantage of his dark face and drank a lot. He didn't get drunk every time he drank. Fortunately, his drinking capacity increased greatly during the training with Xiao Han, so he didn't want to take revenge now.
, when will we wait?
"No, no, no, if you want to eat vegetables, drink this fourth cup first! Peace throughout the seasons!"
"Five blessings come to your door, okay, drink..."
"Sixty-six great fortunes..."
"Seven stars shining brightly"
"Wealth comes from all directions..."
The next day, Luo Wen, who had a splitting headache, rubbed his head in the room for a long time. It seemed that he had been inked by Xiao Han after drinking too much last night. Finally, he couldn't help but said that he would move a few households to Xiao Han's place.
veteran?
But in this case, wouldn't my persistence yesterday be a joke? If I had known that Zhang Qiang and Xiao Han were both too fat to wear a pair of pants, how could I have stuck my head out and let others cover them?
No, I can't stay. Neither of them is good. One always wants to put me down, and the other always wants me to give him an opening. If I stay here any longer, I guess I have been sold and still helping count the money. Anyway, the purpose of coming here is nothing.
Generally speaking, I have reached the point. Let’s go now. I can’t be greedy anymore. Let alone just one or two delicacies, even if I bring dragon meat over, I have to leave...
I covered my head and made up my mind to sort out my scattered clothes and go out.
However, the sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and good fortune. No, as soon as he opened the door, Luo Wen never expected to meet Zhang Qiang who came in a hurry.
Seeing the neat look of Rowan behind the door, Zhang Qiang was startled for a moment, and then laughed: "Hahaha... Let me just say, brother Rowan's drinking capacity is extraordinary! How about it, are you still drunk? It doesn't matter.
I came here specially for this purpose, take a walk, come with me to have another drink, please note that drinking to relieve hangover is my secret that is not passed down..."
Poor Luo Wen stood there stupidly and before he could react, he was dragged by Zhang Qiang to have a drink to relieve his hangover...
