Chapter 177 The county borrows armor(1/2)
Guo Cang grinned: "There are no good days, this is our normal life!"
"Eat this every day?"
The mountain man Qin looked disbelief and kissed the big dog, and Qin Ergou was also full of suspicion!
This group of food is better than the landlords. It is good for ordinary people to eat full grains every day. How can they eat meat every meal like this?
"My benefactor was afraid that we wouldn't be willing to eat, so he opened this canteen."
Guo Cang explained with a smile: "Two meals a day, one dish, one soup, at least three taels of meat, dry rice, and meat buns are eaten casually."
"ah!"
The mountain man Qin was shocked.
They instinctively didn't believe it, but when they looked at the villagers carefully, they immediately believed it!
The villagers were rosy and fleshy on their cheeks, which was different from the usually hungry and skinny people.
Qin Dagou smashed his mouth and said, "No wonder so many people are here to work for Mr. Wang. This food is so good. You can rush it if you don't pay!"
Qin Ergou also nodded.
"All of them are given money!"
Guo Cang quickly corrected: "Everyone who works for the young master will pay wages. For example, these cooks earn at least two taels of silver per month. Their fishing team also earns at least two taels of silver per month. Those guards will pay at least four taels of silver per month! Some managers will pay more than ten taels of silver per month."
"What!"
The father and son were stunned.
I originally thought that the food in Dawang Village was so good that I would not pay wages!
After all, in the cold winter, many people lack food and clothing, so they just need to take care of their work.
Unexpectedly, the wages paid for work here, and it was a bit terrible!
Guo Cang showed off a little, "Not only do we have high wages, do we have benefits?"
Shanhuo Qin couldn't understand: "What is welfare?"
Guo Cang said: "In addition to wages, my benefactor is also afraid that we will be frozen, so he will give everyone cotton coats and shoes. If the family is going to get sick and have no money to see a doctor, the benefactor will pay the money for the medical treatment."
"...Young Master Wang is really a good Bodhisattva!"
The father and son were stunned when they heard this, and looked at the villagers eating, and looked envious!
The villagers were talking about how much wages you made last month, how much money did your family make in total, and whether it would be enough to build a blue brick house next year!
The less earn two taels, the more earn more than ten taels, and the middle earn four or five taels.
The villagers were all wearing cotton cloth, some of them were wearing satin outside, and they were slow to be organized when eating meat, unlike their starving ghosts who were reincarnated.
"Let's go, take you to the village to enjoy food!"
For fear that the father and son would be slack, Guo Cang took the three of them for a walk to digest food.
The father and son followed behind in a daze, looking at Dawangzhuang with blue bricks and tiles everywhere enviously.
Passing by the newly built manor, the sound of children reading aloud came from it.
"At the beginning of a person, he is good in nature, his nature is similar, and his habits are far away..."
The clear and bright boy was born, and the king in a long robe was paced around the house with his hands on his back.
Shanhuo Qin said in surprise: "Why are there so many children in your private school in your village?"
Generally, there are a few children in private schools in the countryside, and there are only a dozen children.
The main countryside is poor, and eating is a problem, and there are too few families who can afford to read!
Guo Cang smiled and said, "This is not a private school, it is an elementary school. My husband paid for it. You don't have to spend money to study in it. You can also get rewards for studying well. Not only in our village, but also children who want to study in nearby villages can come to study, and they will also take care of a meal at noon!"
“…”
The father and son are irritated.
Studying requires money and still care about food. The reincarnation of Bodhisattvas is not enough to describe this young master Wang.
Guo Cang raised his head and said, "Not only children, but even we adults have started studying. In Gong County and the county town have business. As long as you can recognize 300 words and write contracts, you can go to the city to be a shopkeeper!"
Now he is also learning to recognize words, and he can recognize and write nearly a hundred words. He can understand most of the sword techniques and martial arts spear techniques brought back from the county town.
"call!"
A desire ignited in the eyes of the father and son!
In Dawang Village, you can eat and wear as long as you work, and the future is full of hope!
Unlike their mid-mountain village, where there are bandits behind and the government in front of them, the family worked hard for a year, paid taxes and grain, but couldn't fill their stomachs.
The mountain man Qin smacked his lips and said, "I really envy you. There are good Bodhisattvas like Young Master Wang in the village!"
Guo Cang grinned: "Don't envy us. The young master will go to He County tomorrow, and your good days are coming soon."
"Is it possible?"
The mountain man Qin looked unbelievable!
To be honest, even if the villagers gathered water and transported it to Tongmu Town, Fu County.
At most, you can eat and wear warm clothes, and life is absolutely impossible to reach the level of Dawangzhuang.
After all, we have to pass through three big thief nests, namely Black Bear Mountain, White Fox Ridge, and Qinglong Gorge.
This will take a skin off!
And when they hear that they make money, the government will come to collect taxes and peel off a layer of skin.
"You must believe in the young master!"
Guo Cang changed the topic: "Do you know the survivors in Feicang? Where did your benefactor go? They originally sold 4 cents per pound of salt directly for 8 cents per pound. Now every household is no less than us! So, where did you go when your benefactor go? As long as you listen to your benefactor, your life will definitely get better!"
"Well, Brother Guo Cang, don't worry, we must listen to Mr. Wang!"
The three of the mountain goods Qin, Qin Dagou, Qin Ergou and his son gritted their teeth and nodded.
As long as they can eat enough, eat meat, and wear cotton coats, they can do whatever they want.
...
Early the next morning.
Five-foot monkey, the tiger descended from the mountain straddled two fast horses and headed for Hexian County!
Wang Yuan ordered forty black armored veterans, one hundred retired veterans, and sixty teenagers of the guard team, fifty sets of cloth armor, two hundred Zhuge crossbows, dry food, horse carriages, and mountain goods Qin and his son set off.
When the sky was clear, the long horse and carriage came to Fu County, which scared the city gate garrisons to jump.
After all, so many cars and horses are a bit like bandits, and they are coming to attack the county town.
Fortunately, Dawang Village is full of familiar faces. As soon as the two tigers came forward, the group quickly entered the city, causing a commotion in the city.
Before the carriage and horses passed by, the acting county magistrate Sun County Magistrate and Captain Xu rushed over together.
County Magistrate Sun smiled and asked: "Mr. Mingtan, Lord Polu, I wonder what you want to do with so many people!"
Every time this man enters the county town, he will start a massacre, and all the powerful men in the county town are killed!
Who will be the turn of such a big battle this time? Could it be him!
The last time I offended him, I went to the Hu family to apologize, but he disappeared!
Not long ago, the county next door rebelled and I heard that the county magistrate was killed!
Now that this evil star is hot, he doesn't accept the apology, which makes him unable to sleep all night!
Captain Xu was also there to laugh!
After a glance at County Magistrate Sun, Erhu said without hesitation: "Get out, it's nothing to do with you!"
County Magistrate Sun was embarrassed and wanted to retreat!
"etc!"
Wang Yuan stretched out his hand and said, "We need to borrow a batch of armor to protect us. I wonder if it is convenient for County Magistrate Sun?"
From the border army, fifty sets of cloth armor were created under the name of renovating armor.
But the light equipment and armor were not obtained, and nearly two hundred people in a group were mostly without armor.
If you really want to have a conflict between the thief in blue, you will suffer heavy casualties without armor!
"Borrow armor!"
This is not a trivial matter. County Magistrate Sun was hesitating. Seeing Captain Xu's sarcastic look, as if he was a fool, he nodded quickly and said, "I don't know how much sir, I will try my best to get it together!"
Wang Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Just get one hundred and fifty mates!"
The county town has no good armor, they are all made of iron-armed pieces in leather armor, but it is okay to defend against bandits.
"No problem, sir!"
After responding, County Magistrate Sun relaxed and hurriedly went to get the armor.
To be continued...
