Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 69
Although Ruan Xiaoer is a fisherman, he has a good brain.If you want to say that the owner of Chai Zhuang ran hundreds of miles here just to give you a gift and drink, is that possible?
Chai Lin said: "I have a problem. If I don't drink alcohol, I won't talk about it. Let's talk about it after drinking for a while. Come on, let's do it."

He drank a few more glasses, although the alcohol content was not high, it was easy to get drunk. After a while, the three brothers of the Ruan family drank one by one and became obsessed.

Only then did Chailin put down his wine glass, and said, "It's nothing serious. My village has opened a salt farm by the sea, which is a place to dry salt. There are some pirates in the sea. I'm worried about safety, and I want to find some caring brothers to take the lead. Help lead the formation of a fleet to protect the saltworks."

Although Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu were a little confused, they were not stupid, that kind of bowing down was based on mutual understanding.

Chai Lin said: "Wu Song Wu Erlang from Qinghe County, Pang Wanchun from Qiantang, and Bian Xiang from Hebei are all in my village, and all of them are first-class heroes, each of whom is a hero. The brothers get hundreds of taels a year. The silver, big mouthfuls of meat, big bowls of wine, serving is very happy."

Now Wu Song and Pang Wanchun's basic salary is five taels of silver per month, plus the management of food, housing, horses, bonuses and other expenses are quite good.

Ruan Xiaoqi said to Chai Lin: "Brother, my fifth brother's daughter-in-law is about to give birth. My second brother still has to take care of his wife and children, so there is no way I can walk away. My little seven is single, so I can talk with my brother about money or not. Come on, have fun."

When Ruan Xiaoer heard what Xiao Qi said, he immediately became unhappy, and said: "Xiao Qi is itchy again, what kind of person did you call your second brother. In this way, Mr. Chai, even if it is cold today, it will be cold in the past. It's not easy. The wife and children at home still need to settle down, let Xiaoqi go there first, and after the settlement is over there, Lao Wu and I will go there."

Chai Lin said: "That would be the best of nature. After Xiaoqi settles down, next spring when the weather is warmer, my second brother will go there."

"No problem, no problem." Ruan Xiaoer said.

Chai Lin took out 200 taels of silver, handed it to Ruan Xiaoqi, and said: "There are generals, but you have to have soldiers. Brother Xiaoqi, you know people in the local area, and call a dozen or so brave men to go along with you." You go there, okay."

Ruan Xiaoqi said angrily: "What is brother doing with money, Xiao Qi is a person who is greedy for money. If Xiao Qi is greedy for money, what is the difference between Xiao Qi and a dog official in the city?"

"Xiaoqi wrongly blamed my brother. The recruiting of my brother is a life-and-death job, so the newcomers in my local area each have a donkey. When they come to you, my brother will directly give the money. You will give the new recruits the money. , ten taels per person for settling-in allowances. The rest is money for food and drink for the dozen or so of you on the road, and for hiring carriages." Chailin explained.

When Ruan Xiaoqi heard this, she was stunned. It was the first time she heard that she was paid for the settlement before she even worked, so she took the money.

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "No problem, tell me. Second brother, I leave this matter to you. Who among our friends dares to risk their lives and who can beat you knows better than me. Second brother will call someone, and fifth brother will accompany Zhuang. The Lord is playing by the lake."

The wine and food were also finished, Ruan Xiaoer put on his cotton-padded jacket, took 100 taels of silver and went out.Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoer accompanied Chai Lin and Chai Meng to watch the scenery by the lake. It was noon, the sun was just right, and it was not so cold. There were many people fishing on the lake.

Ruan Xiaowu pointed to a small island beside the reeds and said, "That small island is where my family Xiaoqi lives. There is a fishing den. Let's go fishing there."

Chai Jin saw that this place was 30 meters away from the shore.Ruan Xiaowu rowed a small boat, and Chai Meng took the boat.

Ruan Xiaoqi took off his clothes early and wanted to swim across.

Chai Lin said with a smile: "I don't have Xiao Qi's ability in water. I dare not swim in such a cold day. I also learned some skills in the early years, so I can fly over."

Ruan Xiaoqi thought that Chai Lin was too drunk, so someone would persuade him, and said: "Brother is too drunk to use it another day, and Fifth Brother will let the officials board the boat."

On the other side, Chailin hopped his feet and landed on the surface of the water, followed by touching the water with his toes. He jumped two feet away, and in the blink of an eye, he had already reached the island.

Ruan Xiaoqi rubbed her eyes, felt her chin was still there, and felt relieved.

Ruan Xiaowu was surprised and said, "It's really amazing that there is such a kung fu in this world."

Chai Meng laughed and said, "This is just a trifle. Some time ago, my elder brother was outside the city of Cangzhou, and he was beating a tiger with a shovel. He killed countless white-fronted tigers that cannibalize countless people with just one spear. Everyone in Cangzhou praised my elder brother."

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Now it's our elder brother, don't forget that I also follow the officials."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Qi entered the water, holding his clothes in one hand, stepping on the water with both feet, swimming quickly in the icy lake water, and arrived at the island as quickly as a white fish.

The four of them were fishing on the island, but it was not a lot of fun.

After playing for a while, suddenly there was a wild singing voice from the harbor: Grandpa grew up in the world, did not seek wealth and did not become an official, lived in Liangshanbo for a lifetime, delicious food and drink are comparable to gods.

Two fishing boats quickly rowed over under the spray of water. There were seven or eight men on each boat, each holding a harpoon, looking mighty and majestic.

A group of people approached the island, and Ruan Xiaoer jumped off the boat and said, "Xiaoqi, here are 16 people, all of whom have nothing to worry about, and are willing to fight for their lives with you."

Ruan Xiaoqi was overjoyed when he saw it. These 16 people were either from the same village or neighboring villages, and they were all strong fishermen.

Ruan Xiaoqi brought everyone over and said: "Those who are willing to go with Xiaoqi are good brothers, everyone come and follow me to see brother."

The 17 people stood in two teams and said: "I have seen my brother."

Chai Lin was overjoyed, helped everyone up, and said: "Brothers, if you follow Chai Lin, I will make your life worthwhile. At that time, you will sail a boat taller than a building, catch fish bigger than a cow, and eat more than your face." A big crab. Travel across the world, open up territories and expand land, seal his wife and son, and leave a name in history."

"Hahaha, my brother is too drunk. The boat is bigger than the building, so how can it shake? The cow weighs more than 1000 catties, how can there be such a big fish." Everyone laughed. Due to cognitive reasons, where have the fishermen in these lakes seen it? these things.

Ruan Xiaoqi said sternly: "Don't laugh, what kind of character is my brother, he said there is definitely one. Just now I didn't believe that my brother would touch the water, but my brother jumped from the shore to the island with a light leap. Since my brother said that there is a big brother If there are any fish, there must be."

Everyone laughed for a while, Ruan Xiaoqi let everyone show their water skills, and they went home to prepare, and waited a day or two to go north to Cangzhou with Ruan Xiaoqi.

In the afternoon, when the sun was setting, Chai Lin and Chai Meng returned to Gangcha where they boarded the boat, but the boss was still waiting there.

Chai Lin asked: "You boss, are you really here?"

The boatman sighed: "How can there be much business? I went back at noon to pick up a few guests. I thought that the guest officer might have to go back, so I came to pick you up again."

"Okay, let's not go back to Dongping County, just go east and find a bigger store in Shuibian Town." Chailin arranged.

Chai Lin stayed near Shuibo Liangshan for another two days, doing some secret things.On the third day, Ruan Xiaoqi and his party of 17 arrived at Dongping Mansion on a fishing boat, and then disembarked and changed vehicles. The 17 people took three mule carts and hurried all the way to Cangzhou.
