Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 149
Wang Hong burst into tears suddenly, the man who is eight feet tall has never cried no matter how hard he suffers.People who have never experienced suffering do not understand the pain. If you are poor, let alone your relatives and friends, even your wife and children blame you.There are many people who make the icing on the cake in the world, but few people give charcoal in the snow. When you meet them, you must cherish them.

Wang Hong's family has a wife, three children, and elderly parents who eat bran-swallowed vegetables all year round.Ten catties of pickled vegetables are a good thing that the poor can eat for half a year, and the price is comparable to a hundred catties of sorghum, not to mention shrimp skins, which are rarely willing to eat. Salted fish is a troublesome thing. Where can I find fried fish?

"Thank you, high officials." Wang Hong bowed.

"Don't be polite, you go back, don't make too much noise. Ordinary workers only have an advance payment of 50 catties of sorghum, and pickles and shrimp skins are extra rewards for you, but ordinary people don't. You can search in a small area of ​​the village to see if anyone is willing to come. Invitation to come together, above and below [-] years old, strong body, healthy and disease-free, that's enough, hurry back, there will be a carriage tomorrow morning, there are only [-] places, if it is late, it will be gone. "Chai Lin said.

Wang Hong wiped away his tears and said: "Don't worry, senior officials, let alone this matter, even if you go up the mountain of swords or down into the sea of ​​fire, you will not hesitate."

"Okay, let's go back."

Wang Hong carried the sorghum rice, pickled vegetables, dried shrimps and salted fish and strode back home.

Zaoli Village is a large village, with five or six hundred households scattered under a mountain.The original population was 700. Over the past few years, due to tax oppression and bandit raids, almost 600% of the population has gone, and there are still [-] people left.

Wang Hong's physical strength is really incredible. After eating a full meal, he carried more than 100 kilograms of things and walked for more than four miles without resting. A six or seven-year-old girl came over.

"Dad, Dad, you are back, we will help you get things."

The two boys took the pickles and shrimp skins, and the salted fish found that they were good things, so they took them and gnawed them into their mouths.

Wang Hong's daughter-in-law came over, and she slapped her face twice when she came up: "Damn child, can pickles and dried shrimps be eaten raw, be careful of stomach upset."

This daughter-in-law is really a tiger. She took Wang Hong's sorghum rice and carried it into the house.

After closing the door, the daughter-in-law asked: "Ergou, what's the situation? Did you give me a hundred catties of sorghum rice without telling me? Why did you give so many good things? And your face was still black when you left in the morning Inky black, why did you turn into a pretty face after going out for a trip, could it be that you have eaten a soft meal?"

Wang Hong was amazed and said, "I washed my hands and face with soap, and guess who I met?"

"Who did you meet? Go out and be mysterious." The daughter-in-law complained.

"I met Chai Daguan, and he even named him Wang Hong. He rewarded the pickles, shrimp skins, and salted fish. He also ate a meal of chicken, cabbage, stewed tofu, and pancakes. More than a dozen." Wang Hong said happily.

The daughter-in-law said: "That's great. In this way, Mr. Chai is a good person. If you work hard, you may become prosperous. Let's move the whole family to Cangzhou."

Wang Hong said: "It's too early to tell. Wait until I go to work for a month or two to see how the work is going. Well, you store the grain in the cellar, and hide the pickles, dried shrimps, and salted fish in jars. "

"Okay, let me make some sorghum porridge for the children first. I haven't had a serious meal for several days." Wang Hong's wife said and went to hide something to cook.

First cook the sorghum porridge in a big pot, and put some autumn preserved carrots.

Take out a piece of pickled vegetable lump, this is the best pickled vegetable lump, it looks like it was made by an expert, it has been marinated for a long time, and it tastes salty, it can be eaten as salt.

Wang Hong's daughter-in-law couldn't help eating a strip of pickled vegetables when she was cutting vegetables. Although salt is so inconspicuous, people who don't eat salt for a long time will feel weak.

"Mom, I want to eat too, I want to eat too." The three children came to the kitchen to eat pickle sticks.

"Wait a minute, it will be ready soon."

Wang Hong's daughter-in-law fried the pickle sticks in the pan for a while, and then each child ate one. The pickle sticks are all snacks for children from poor families.

Wang Hong went out to find someone, and Chai Daguan arranged it. If he wanted to do it quietly, then naturally he couldn't publicize it with great fanfare.But they are all from the same village, it is very clear who is who, so it is not easy to find someone.

Sure enough, just as Wang Hong expected, more than 50 people were found throughout the morning and afternoon, and nearly [-] catties of sorghum rice were taken away. Although these aged sorghum rice is not conspicuous, it is really life-saving. This one hundred catties of grain can survive the winter, if it is not possible, it will be a fart.

Shi Xiu was a little worried and said: "Brother, we invested so much in the early stage, what if they don't come?"

Chai Lin said: "No, Brother Shi Xiu, don't worry, we are in the name of the government. If they don't come, they will cheat the government. If they are caught, they will be imprisoned. Besides, look at this sorghum rice, will you eat it?"

Shi Xiu grabbed a handful of sorghum rice and squeezed it. It was obviously old sorghum rice, and there were some corpses of bugs.

"Well, if it wasn't for the disaster victims, they wouldn't be eating food, food for pigs," Shi Xiu said.

Chai Lin sighed: "That's it. It's just a hundred catties of old sorghum rice. If there are any that can't come, then we should treat it as a good deed. The people are suffering. Look at how life is going. Help as much as you can.”

The next morning, the 56 people who took away the food yesterday, including Wang Hong, appeared neatly in front of Chai Lin.

Chailin is very happy. Although these farmers are poor, they still have the minimum credit.

The Four Seas Automobile Co., Ltd. was responsible for the transfer and mobilized eight large carriages to transport these miners.

More than 200 miles, this distance is not close.

Just as Wang Hong was about to get into the car, Chai Lin called out, "Wang Hong, don't go, stay here to work, and obey Shidutou's orders."

Shi Xiu's treatment is like a head, and Chai Lin is wrong to say so.

"Okay." Wang Hong stayed behind.

Shi Xiu said: "You are a native of this town, and you know people well. You are responsible for publicity and recruitment here. In addition, if there are lazy people who are lazy and do not work well, you will also be eliminated."

"Yes, Shidutou." Wang Hong said.

"Go to the backyard to have breakfast first, and then change into new clothes." Shi Xiu arranged.

"Ok."

Wang Hong was very happy, the breakfast here was delicious, and the spring onions in the house were treasures, and it took a long time to eat a daughter-in-law.

When I came to the backyard, I was not disappointed.Stewed tofu with pork bones and radishes, and there are big oily flower seeds floating on the vegetable soup.

After the meal, someone brought a sheepskin jacket and sheepskin trousers and said: "Old Wang, there is water in the cauldron, get it in the bathtub by yourself, take a bath, and put on new clothes."

"Thank you, thank you." Wang Hong was full of excitement. He took a bath and changed his clothes. It turned out to be a full set. The inside was a coarse long-wear and long trousers, and the outside was a sheepskin winter coat. Wearing it made him feel warm. Rabbit fur hat, exquisite workmanship.

The cook saw that Lao Wang had changed into new clothes, and said, "Old Wang, it really looks like that. Why don't you come to serve as a soldier, you are so strong."

Wang Hong sighed: "It's a bit late, even if you are five years younger, it's okay. If you are over 30, those with old arms and legs are not qualified."

When Wang Hong came out, his whole body became much more energetic, and he looked like a successful person, not like a beggar.

"Master Chai, Shi Dutou, I'll continue to recruit people." Wang Hong said.

Shi Xiu said: "Don't worry, come here and take your reward today, ten catties of millet, and this shovel for self-defense, pay more attention to safety on the road."
