Guo Cang grinned: "There are no good days, this is our normal life!"
"Do you eat like this every day?"
Shan Huo Qin looked unbelieving and kissed the big dog, while Qin's second dog also looked suspicious!
This food is better than what the landlords eat. It would be great if the common people can eat enough grains every day. How can they waste the family by eating meat every day like this!
"My benefactor was afraid that we would not be willing to eat, so he built this big canteen."
Guo Cang explained with a smile: "I take care of two meals a day, one dish, one soup, at least three taels of meat, dry rice, and meat buns to eat as you like."
"ah!"
Shan Huo Qin was shocked.
They didn't believe it instinctively, but after taking a closer look at the villagers, they immediately believed it!
The villagers have rosy faces and fleshy cheeks, which are different from the ordinary hungry and skinny people.
Qin Dagou smacked his lips and said, "No wonder so many people come to work for Master Wang. The food is so good. They come here even if they don't pay for it!"
Qin Ergou also nodded in agreement.
"It's all paid for!"
Guo Cang quickly corrected him: "Everyone who works for the young master is paid. For example, these cooks earn at least two taels of silver a month. Those on the fishing team also earn at least two taels of silver a month. Those guards
Team members are paid at least four taels of silver per month! Some managers are paid more than ten taels of silver per month."
"What!"
The father and son were stunned.
I originally thought that because the food in Dawang Village was so good, we wouldn’t be paid!
After all, in the coldest month of winter, many people lack food and clothing, so they have to work just to make ends meet.
Unexpectedly, the wages for working here are terrifyingly high!
Guo Cang showed off somewhat: "Not to mention the high salary, do we also have benefits?"
Shanhuo Qin didn't understand: "What is welfare?"
Guo Cang said: "In addition to wages, my benefactor also gave everyone cotton-padded clothes and shoes because he was afraid that we would be cold. If a family member is sick and has no money to see a doctor, my benefactor will pay for the diagnosis and medicine."
"...Young Master Wang is truly a kindhearted Bodhisattva!"
The father and son were stunned when they heard this, and looked at the villagers eating with envy!
During the meal, the villagers discussed various topics: how much money did you earn last month, how much money did your family earn in total, and whether it will be enough to build a brick house next year!
Those with less money earn two taels, those with more money earn more than ten taels, and those in the middle earn four or five taels.
The villagers all wore cotton, and some even wore satin outside, and they ate meat slowly and methodically, not like they were reincarnated as ghosts who died of starvation.
"Let's go, let's take you to the village for a walk to eat!"
Afraid that the three of them, father and son, might be exhausted, Guo Cang took the three of them for a walk to eat.
The father and son followed behind in bewilderment, looking enviously at Dawangzhuang, which was full of blue brick buildings.
Passing by a newly built large manor, the sound of children reading aloud could be heard from inside.
"At the beginning of human beings, their natures are good, their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart..."
Wang Bizhong, with a crisp and childlike voice, was dressed in a long robe and walked around the house with his hands behind his back.
Shan Huo Qin said in surprise: "Why are there so many children in the private school in your village?"
Generally speaking, private schools in the countryside only have a few children, and the number is no more than a dozen.
Mainly because rural areas are poor, food is a problem, and there are too few families who can afford to study!
Guo Cang said with a smile: "This is not a private school, this is a primary school. It was run by my benefactor. You don't have to spend money to study there. If you study well, you will be rewarded. Children who want to study not only in our village, but also in nearby villages can come.
You’re studying, but you still have to take care of a meal at noon!”
"..."
The three of them, father and son, were numb.
Studying for free and taking care of food, and being reincarnated as a Bodhisattva are not enough to describe this young master Wang.
Guo Cang raised his head and said: "Not only the children, but also us adults have started to study. There are businesses in Engong County and the county. As long as you can read three hundred characters and write deeds, you can work as a shopkeeper in the city.
of!"
Now he is also learning to read, and can read and write nearly a hundred characters. He can also read most of the Baizhan Sword Techniques and Wu Family Spear Techniques that his benefactor brought back from the county.
"call!"
Desire ignited in the eyes of the three father and son!
In Dawang Village, as long as you work, you can have enough food and clothing, and the future is full of hope!
It's not like their mountain village, where there are bandits behind them and the government in front. The family has worked hard for a year, paid taxes and food, and still can't fill their stomachs.
Shanghao Qin smacked his lips and said, "I really envy you that there is a good Bodhisattva like Mr. 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?"
Shan Huo Qin couldn’t believe it!
To be honest, even if the villagers collect water jade together and transport it to Tongmu Town, Fu County.
At most, you can only have enough food and clothing, and your life will never reach the level of Dawangzhuang.
After all, we have to pass through the three big thieves' dens, Black Bear Mountain, Baihu Ridge, and Qinglong Gorge.
This requires peeling off a layer of skin!
And when they heard that they were making money, the government would come to collect taxes and peel off a layer of skin.
"You have to believe Master!"
Guo Cang changed the subject: "Do you know the households of Feicang? My benefactor went to them. Their salt, which originally cost four cents per catty, was sold for eight cents per catty. Now every household's life is no worse than ours!"
So, wherever your benefactor goes, as long as you listen to your benefactor, your life will definitely get better!"
"Well, brother Guo Cang, don't worry, we will definitely listen to Master Wang!"
Shan Huo Qin, Qin Dagou, Qin Ergou and his son gritted their teeth and nodded.
As long as they have enough food to eat, meat to eat, and cotton-padded clothes to wear, they can do whatever they want.
…
Early the next morning.
The five-foot-long monkey and the tiger descended from the mountain, riding on two fast horses, heading towards He County!
And Wang Yuan ordered forty black-armored veterans, one hundred retired veterans, sixty young guards, fifty sets of cloth armor, two hundred Zhuge crossbows, dry food, a carriage, and mountain goods Qin and his son.
Set off.
At dawn, a long convoy of horse-drawn carriages arrived in Fu County, frightening the guards at the city gate.
After all, there are so many chariots and horses, some of them look like bandits coming to attack the county town.
Fortunately, there were all familiar faces in Dawang Village. As soon as Dahu and Erhu showed up, the group quickly entered the city, causing a commotion in the city.
Before the carriages and horses could pass through the city, Sun Xianwei, the acting county magistrate, and Xu Baotou came over hand in hand.
County Captain Sun asked with an apologetic smile: "Mr. Mingtan, Lord Polu, I don't know what you want to do with so many people!"
Every time this man enters the county, he kills all the powerful people in the county!
Whose turn will it be in such a big battle this time? It shouldn’t be him!
The last time I offended him, I went to Hu's house to apologize, but he didn't even see me!
Not long ago, there was a rebellion in the neighboring county, and I heard that the county magistrate was killed!
Now that this evil star is in love, he refuses to accept the apology, which makes him unable to sleep well all night!
Xu Captou was also laughing at him!
Glancing at Lieutenant Sun, Erhu said unceremoniously: "Go away, it's none of your business!"
Sun County Lieutenant San San wants to retreat!
"etc!"
Wang Yuan stretched out his hand and said: "We are going to Fu County and need to borrow a batch of armor for protection. Is it convenient for Lieutenant Sun to do it?"
From the border army, fifty sets of cloth armor were produced in the name of transforming armor.
However, the light equipment and armor were not obtained. There were nearly two hundred people in the group, and most of them were without armor.
If we really get into a conflict with the thieves in blue, without armor, there will be heavy casualties!
"Borrow the armor!"
This is not a trivial matter. Sun County Lieutenant was hesitating when he saw Xu Captou’s sarcastic look, as if he were a fool. He nodded quickly and said, “I don’t know how much you want, sir. I’ll try my best to get people to collect it!”
Wang Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Just get one hundred and fifty pairs!"
The county town doesn't have good armor either, it's all leather armor with iron plates inside, but it's good at protecting against bandits.
"No problem, please wait a moment, sir!"
After answering the question, Sun County Lieutenant felt relaxed all over, and he quickly went to get his armor.
Fu County is located on the border. In addition to paying taxes every year, it is also responsible for manufacturing some swords, guns, bows and arrows, and armor. The county government warehouse and the garrison can make up for it.
Xu Captou also said hello and left!
The group of people drove slowly towards the county government office!
But before it drove to the county government office, a beautiful carriage drove up, and the driver was Hu Tian!
"Master!"
The curtains of the carriage were lifted, and Hu Mengying took A Bao and got out of the carriage, giving Yingying a blessing gift!
But Abao jumped forward and hugged Wang Yuan's thigh directly: "Brother-in-law, where have you been? My sister can't sleep because she misses you every night!"
"Ahem!"
Wang Yuan's face turned red, he coughed dryly and glanced around!
Dahu, Erhu, Heijia, veterans, and the young guard all pursed their lips and suppressed laughter.
"Abao, don't talk nonsense!"
Pulling her brother over, Hu Mengying's pretty face turned red with embarrassment and her voice was like a mosquito: "I'm sorry, sir, but the kid is ignorant!"
Even though the last time they confessed their feelings, the two had a deep kiss, but now they are still shy in public.
"Tong Yan Wu Ji!"
Wang Yuan waved his hand carelessly and changed the subject: "How did you know I was coming!"
"Sir, if you bring so many people into the city, all the big families in the county will know about it!"
Hu Mengying's pretty face said curiously: "Sir, where are you going?"
Wang Yuan didn't hide it either: "He County!"
Hu Mengying frowned slightly: "What happened?"
Brother Leng Yun started a rebellion in He County, and now the young master brought people to He County, which made her feel extremely bad!
"It's no big deal, I'll take care of every little thing!"
After rubbing Abao's head, Wang Yuan turned around and stepped forward: "Hu Tian, follow me!"
Hu Mengying's eyes trembled, and her eyes were a little worried!
Hu Tian looked surprised. He followed Wang Yuan to a corner and said cautiously: "Sir, did you go to He County to find Brother Leng Yun?"
"Yes, he captured Uncle Arrow and wrote a letter to trick me into coming there!"
After explaining the matter in general, Wang Yuan said with a solemn expression: "Last time you said that he was hostile to me. Why on earth is that? He and I have never met each other!"
"...It's all because of the eldest lady. Leng Yun likes the eldest lady, and the eldest lady likes you, sir!"
Hu Tian hesitated and advised: "Sir, don't go, he had murderous intentions towards you last time.
If you get to Qinglong Gorge, he won't let you go!
He is a very possessive person, he will definitely remove any stumbling blocks, and he will definitely find ways to get what he wants.
The lady likes you, and he can't get her unless he gets rid of you, so he has murderous intentions!
He has a cavalry rebellion now and has thousands of thieves under his command. You have too few people and it is very dangerous!"
"I know, but I have to go to Qinglong Gorge, because Uncle Arrow is in his hands. Remember, don't tell your lady about this, she is too soft-hearted!"
After patting Hu Tian on the shoulder, Wang Yuan turned around and was stunned on the spot!
