Chapter 76: A Young Man Begging for a Ticket and a Flower
When Li Jixun heard Kang Long's words, he became more and more confused. He thought Kang Long was speaking ironically, so he quickly explained: "Sir, I..."
Seeing the change in Li Jixun's expression, Kang Long knew that he had doubts, and said without waiting for him to explain: "You don't need to explain, I believe you. I, Kang Long, always trust people when I employ them, and I don't trust people when I doubt them. Since this bead was given to you by that person,
, you have fulfilled your promise to him again, and the beads will naturally be yours. Now go and call him over, but I have become interested in him and want to see what he says."
Li Jixun was overjoyed and put away his beads, and he naturally admired Kang Long more and more. In fact, it was not surprising that he was so cautious. He had suffered such a loss before. He once helped people lobby his boss, the commander of the pro-military department.
General Wu Sigui. That time he accepted a bribe of three hundred taels of silver, but later Wu Sigui found out about it. Not only did he confiscate his bribe of three hundred taels, but he was also fined half a year's salary.
Naturally, all this money went into Wu Sigui's pocket. For this matter, Li Jixun had scolded Wu Sigui more than once in private. This time on the mission, it was Wu Sigui who used excuses to punish him.
It is said that in the Pro-Army Division, Hua Qian and Li Jixun were the two most unpopular battalion commanders. If they had not made many achievements, they would have given Wu Sigui an excuse to drive him away.
I don’t know which battalion of the Qinjun Division is in command. It would be best if I could stay in the capital and not go on missions. Not only can I receive a salary, but in normal times, I can also serve as the Jin Emperor’s support team when he travels, earning extra income. Occasionally, there will be some
When the local officers of the feudal town report their work to the Privy Council in Kyoto, at that time, someone will go to the pro-military department.
Wu Sigui, the commander-in-chief of the Qinjun Division, is not easy to meet. Those who want to find a way through connections will find the battalion commander.
And if you go on a mission, you won't have such benefits. If you encounter a dangerous mission, or a mission of great importance, if you go wrong even a little bit, not only will your official position be lost, but you may even lose your head.
Li Jixun was thinking at this moment that meeting such a superior officer as Kang Long was a blessing for junior officers like them, right?
Military generals always have to go to the battlefield. If they encounter a suspicious and seriously ill superior, even if the general survives on the battlefield, he will eventually die at the hands of those superiors for various reasons.
All the teenagers were assigned to the red flag. Kang Long selected four eloquent captains from among the ten captains of the Long Spear Battalion and personally taught them some simple brainwashing formulas and methods.
The four heads were divided into two groups according to morning and afternoon, and they took turns brainwashing these teenagers. Kang Long would also take the messenger speedboat at a fixed time every day and personally go to the Red Flagship to instill some loyalty, bravery, and passionate thoughts into these teenagers.
.
The purpose of doing this is nothing more than to establish absolute prestige in their minds and let these teenagers understand the true meaning of absolute obedience in advance.
Of course, Kang Long also communicates with ordinary soldiers in each battalion every day to understand each soldier's personality, family background, and experiences, and often tells them some strange stories.
In the current Caoliang Team, what every soldier and officer looks forward to most every day is to see this Colonel Renyong who has no airs and loves to mingle with the soldiers.
When Li Jixun boarded the red flag ship by speedboat, he found that the young man named Juzi, who was called a passerby, was standing on the bow of the ship with a calm face, looking at Li Jixun who was boarding the deck.
Li Jixun didn't expect that the passer-by would be standing at the bow of the boat waiting for him, and seeing the expression on the passer-by's face, it was clear that he was full of himself.
This young man is not simple. This is what Li Jixun really thinks in his heart at this moment.
The young man was a passer-by, and now that he had achieved fame, he could have Kang Long send him to a nearby state capital to live his own life.
Although he has lost his relatives and his home and wealth, it is still easy for him to live on with his status as a son.
The laws of the Jin Dynasty stipulated that the sons were exempted from all taxes and labor, and the court would also give them a fixed monthly salary. Although the salary was not much, it was more than enough to support an ordinary family.
Moreover, the exemption from all taxes and labor means that many people will take the initiative to send him money and food to gain connections, and there will also be poor farmers who cannot afford to pay taxes and transfer their land and household registration to his name.
To avoid taxation and labor, he will pay a lot of taxes every year.
Juzi can also serve as local officials and become local gentry.
It can be said that the passer-by will live a better life if he leaves here now than if he stays here, but Li Jixun can't figure out why he doesn't leave here instead of staying here.
He even couldn't understand why this boy, who was only fifteen years old, seemed so calm, calm and confident from beginning to end.
Li Jixun still remembered how calm the passer-by looked on his face when he calmly took out the luminous pearl hidden close to the flesh. When he asked him to bring a message to Kang Long, his tone was so calm and confident.
, it seems that Li Jixun will definitely accept Ye Mingzhu, and there will definitely be a way to bring the message, and Kang Long will definitely meet him.
For a moment, Li Jixun even thought that the person standing in front of him was not a young man, but a scheming strategist or a calm and calm general.
"Commander Li, does Mr. Kang agree to see me alone?" The passerby, who was slightly thin, stood on the bow of the boat, looked at Li Jixun calmly, and asked politely.
Li Jixun did not speak, with a somewhat complicated expression. He suddenly stretched out his hand in front of the passerby and opened it. The thumb-sized bead was sitting quietly in his hand.
"I'm an overachiever, please take back this bead. I, Li Jixun, am not that kind of dirty person."
The passer-by's expression was obviously stagnant, and his originally calm face became a little unnatural, "Commander Li, is it possible that Mr. Kang doesn't want to see me?"
Li Jixun finally saw the unnatural side of this young man. He thought that no matter what happened to this young man, he always looked calm and calm, so he smiled and said: "Where are you, the general has sent you to go now?"
See him. And please take back this bead."
When the passerby heard that Kang Long was willing to see him, his expression returned to normal, and he smiled lightly and said: "A true man should act with a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. Commander Li, you have helped me so much, so naturally I should repay you. It's a small bead."
, it’s just a small talk, please accept it.”
But Li Jixun took a serious look at the passerby, suddenly grabbed his hand, and then solemnly put the beads into his hand, and then said: "Guo Juren, I am a rough man and don't understand those false etiquette. You have just encountered a disaster.
Fortunately, I got out of trouble thanks to the help of the adults. It’s time to use money. How can I take advantage of others’ danger? I’ll keep it.”
After Li Jixun finished speaking, he jumped out of the boat without waiting for objections from the passers-by, and ordered the rowers to row to the big boat in the middle of the grain boat. His command post was on that boat, and his current task was to ensure that the entire fleet of grain boats was in order without any interference.
Influence.
"I don't know what Mr. Kang said to this man, but he actually changed his greedy temperament. It seems that I was right about the person. Colonel Renyong is really capable and can definitely help me take revenge!" The young man lifted his son to pass by.
, holding the bead tightly, looking at Li Jixun walking away, and murmured to himself.
After a while, the passerby said loudly to a soldier on the red flagship: "Please help me make arrangements. I want to see Mr. Kang."
The armored soldier had just heard the conversation between him and Li Jixun, and did not dare to neglect. He hurried to the oarsman on Jian Luochi's flagship, put down a speedboat, climbed up the ladder, and helped the passerby down.
The four oarsmen on the clipper waited for the passengers to board the boat, and immediately shook the big oars and rowed towards the yellow flagship.
The furnishings in the main cabin of the Huang Flagship are extremely simple, with a large rectangular table and no seats placed around it.
There were many wooden blocks piled on the huge long table. Ordinary people looked at them and thought they were ordinary children's toys. But in the eyes of those senior officers, the wooden blocks piled on the table were actually according to certain rules.
The location and terrain are arranged, and there are many doorways inside.
Kang Long watched with great interest as Hua Qian, Li Hu, and Li Ba continued to modify the placement of the wooden blocks on the table, with a look of contemplation on his face.
Several finger-thick, yellow and white cotton threads were interspersed between the wooden blocks. They seemed to connect several wooden blocks according to certain rules, and seemed to separate certain places. It was really strange.
When the passerby wondered why the guards on the Huang flagship turned a blind eye to him, and then walked into the cabin with a strange look on his face, he saw Kang Long pointing to one of the wooden blocks and saying to Hua Tian: "Is that the mouth of Sanhe?"
