Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 32 The general trend of the world
Shi Qian is a special talent, a rare talent, a rare talent.For example, although a Maxima is powerful, if you let it catch mice, it is definitely not as good as a cat. The key is to use people's strengths.Lu Zhishen can fight and fight hard, so it is absolutely impossible for him to sneak in to spy on the news, but Shi Qian can, this is the value of Shi Qian.

In the early morning of the next day, Chai Jin and his group rushed to Chaijiazhuang without having breakfast. The purpose of coming to Cangzhou City this time has been achieved. They established a good relationship with the new magistrate Mr. Su, established communication, and even shot a tiger. The task has been completed. Overfulfilled, we have to rush back to Chaijiazhuang.

Along the way, Shi Qian had a lot of awkward riding horses, he couldn't ride, no matter how he sat, it didn't fit him well, and his horse and horse didn't cooperate.

Chai Jin asked: "Shi Qian, do you usually ride a horse for transportation?"

Shi Qian shook his head like a rattle, and said: "I am alone, wherever I go, I am home. To raise a horse, you need to feed grass, feed, and water, who can bear it. But my legs are so strong, I can't bear it every day. There is no problem in walking more than a hundred miles."

"Fast walking is one aspect, and riding a horse is also basic. When I return to the village, I will train you systematically and teach you some close combat skills." Chai Jin said.

"Don't worry, brother, Shi Qian will definitely study hard." Shi Qian squatted on the horse like a monkey.

I set off without eating in the morning and walked all the way. I waited for more than 100 miles until noon. There was no other reason. Although the horses ran fast, they could not keep running.

It was already noon, and as soon as we arrived near Chaijiazhuang, there were more carriages coming and going on the road. They were basically pulling bricks, and large quantities of green bricks were transported to various construction sites in Chaijiazhuang.

Chai Jin pointed to Chaijiazhuang West Village in front of him and said, "Brother Shi Qian, this is my brother's Chaijiazhuang West Village, isn't it a little old?"

Shi Qian said with a smile: "This is already very good. Chickens are crowing and dogs are barking, cooking smoke is curling up. There are construction sites everywhere. The popularity is very strong."

"This area is a horse farm, with thousands of prairie horses. Three miles ahead is a donkey farm, and now there are hundreds of donkeys." Chai Jin introduced.

The more Shi Qian watched, the more frightened he became. This brother is really capable of tossing around. There are dozens or even hundreds of people in any construction site.

"What kind of construction site is at the foot of that mountain? It seems that there are quite a lot of people." Shi Qian asked, pointing to the construction site at the foot of the hill in the distance.

"That is a pig farm under construction, with about 50 people." Chai Jin said.

Shi Qian was surprised: "These Zhuang Ding work, don't they complain?"

Chai Jin shook his head and said nothing, Chai Yong said: "Complaints? You think too much, the craftsmen from other villages all want to come to find a job, but now Chaijiazhuang gives priority to the village, and there are few craftsmen from other villages. The monthly small workers are six months a month. One hundred dollars, big workers one thousand dollars, three meals a day, no supervisor beating people."

Shi Qian sighed: "That's no wonder, the big families in the Gaotang area let Zhuang Ding do all the work. Not only do they not pay wages, but they also let them bring their own dry food. If things go wrong, they will be beaten and scolded."

Chai Yong said: "Come to Chaijiazhuang, you will gradually find the difference. Our owner does not put on airs, eats and trains with the guards, speaks kindly, seldom swears or beats people, but a few You can't do that."

Shi Qianxin was also worried about committing something that Chai Jin didn't like, so he immediately asked, "What can't be committed?"

"You can't bully men and women, you can't bully the market, you can't rely on the strong to bully the weak, and you can't steal chickens and dogs." Chai Yong said.

Shi Qian smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I have nothing wrong with Shi Qian except that I like to eat chicken occasionally. My brother pays me every month, so naturally I won't steal chicken. As for other behaviors, Shi Qian I don’t even bother to do it.”

As soon as I got back to the East Village, someone from the farmer came to report, saying: "Villa owner, the butler asked me to inform you that Pang Wanchun brother and sister came to the guest room in the village. These brothers and sisters are good at martial arts. Please handle it personally."

Chai Jin almost jumped up when he heard it, it's not just because they are good at martial arts, these two are masters of bow and arrow.It’s true that God treats me well, Pang Wanchun is a master of bows and arrows, a marksman, a rare talent.Now these people under his command, including Chai Jin himself, are all at the level of two knives with bow and arrow.Although Wu Song has great strength and great sword skills, when it comes to archery, his level is only average.

Chai Jin said: "Chai Yong, take Brother Shi Qian to the school field barracks first, let Brother Shi Qian get familiar with the environment, remember that Brother Shi Qian must not participate in the queue training."

"Yes, I understand." Chai Yong said.

Chai Jin brought two guards and went to the guest rooms in the village. These rooms were originally built by Chai Jin to entertain people who came to join him. Now there are not many people living there. If there are newcomers, they can settle here temporarily.

The farmer knocked on the courtyard door, and a young man with a slender waist and ape arms opened the door. This young man was handsome and handsome, but his body was straight, his muscles were tight, his hands were very strong, and his fingers were calloused.He is not very young, he looks like he is only 22 or [-] years old.

Chai Jin cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Excuse me, but Pang Wanchun, Brother Pang?"

"It's me, who are you?"

"I'm going to Chai Jin. I went to Cangzhou today, and I just came back today. Brother Pang has been waiting for a long time." Chai Jin said.

A voice came from the yard, saying, "Brother, who is it, is it the owner of Chai Zhuang?"

A beautiful woman ran over in a hurry, one or two years younger than Pang Wanchun, with long hair and green clothes, willow-leaf eyebrows, melon-seeded face, and small cherry mouth. That kind of classical beauty is so beautiful that it makes people's heartbeat.

Pang Wanchun said: "It turned out to be the owner of Chai, please come in quickly. This is Pang Qiuxia, my sister-in-law, who is rather edgy, please invite the owner Haihan."

Chai Jin said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. Just follow your heart."

Pang Wanchun invited Chai Jin into the guest room, and he didn’t bow down as Chai Jin imagined. People who are capable are all lofty, and Pang Wanchun is the same. Seeing what he meant, he wanted to test Chai Jin. If he was satisfied, he would stay. Next, if you are not satisfied, you will leave.

Pang Wanchun asked: "Master Chai, what do you think of the general trend of the world? What do you think of our Song Dynasty?"

Chai Jin calmly took out an exquisite map from his pocket, Chai Jin pointed to the map and said: "This is our Great Song Dynasty, which occupies most of the Central Plains and Jiangnan areas, with rich products and a large population. The population of Xixia is 300 million. This is Xixia. The land is small and the population is only about [-] million, but the folk customs are strong, and it is rich in the tall horses of Xixia. , harassing the border. This huge area is the Liao Kingdom, but it is a pity that the Liao Kingdom is now declining and has lost nearly half of its land. The newly established Jin Kingdom is unstoppable, and it is only a matter of time before the Liao Kingdom is completely replaced. I am talking about the general trend of the world, What do Brother Wanchun think?"

Pang Wanchun nodded. This Chai Jin seemed to be very knowledgeable, and he carried all the maps with him.

Pang Wanchun asked: "So what does Chai Zhuang think about our Great Song Dynasty?"

Chai Jin took a sip of his tea, and said calmly, "I'm terminally ill, and I can't recover from it. In ten years, I'm afraid I'll lose half of my country."
