I'm a marquis in Datang

Zhong Laoba said: "At home!"

Immediately afterwards, someone entered, and the person who came was the head of the village.For grassroots officials in the Tang Dynasty, four families are one neighbor, five neighbors are one guarantee, and five guarantees are one mile.The village head's name was Yang Yi. Seeing Ma Shi's appearance, he asked a few words with concern.

After Zhong Laoba answered one by one, he asked: "Master Yang, what's the matter?"

Yang Yi laughed and said, "Old Ba, it's a good time to visit the door this time. The imperial court has ordered you to go to Yongxingfang in Chang'an City. At the latest, you will arrive tomorrow. Gather outside a tea shop."

This is Du Qi's arrangement.

Please ask the government to come forward and let the local chief send a letter to summon the retired soldiers from the counties near Chang'an.

"Yes!"

Zhong Laoba responded immediately.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Master Yang said it was a good thing, but what exactly is it?"

Yang Yi shook her head and replied: "I don't know what it is specifically. But it must be a good thing from the look of the messenger. Well, I am short on time, and I have to inform other people. Hurry up. After all, from Lantian There is a distance to Chang'an."

After Yang Yi finished speaking, she turned and left.

Zhong Laoba got up to send Yang Yi away, returned to Ma Shi's side, and said seriously: "I don't know what it is, alas, you are not feeling well now, how can I leave!"

With firm eyes, Madam Ma gritted his teeth and said, "Go, you must go. Head of the family, you call the boss and the second child back, let them look at me, you go to Chang'an first, and see what's going on."

"it is good!"

Zhong Laoba is also a simple and honest person.

Hearing Ma Shi's words, he quickly called the two children back and told the two children to take care of Ma Shi, then simply packed up his bags, took two breads, and left in a hurry to go to Chang'an.

Chapter 83

Zhong Laoba's Hope

Chang'an, the best tea shop in the world.

This is the place where Du Qi called the veterans to gather. After all, the restaurant has not yet opened, so everyone gathered outside the No. [-] tea shop in the world.According to the time set by Du Qi, the gathering was on the fourth day of May, but before the fourth day of May, people had already arrived.

Those who arrived were temporarily waiting nearby.

On the fourth day of May, early in the morning.

Du Qi arrived early, but he didn't see everyone early, but waited until the sun was high and it was almost noon,

Du Qicai arranged for Liu Jian to invite all the arrivals into the teahouse and gather in the lobby.

Everyone, take your seats.

The expressions on the rough faces of the veterans were embarrassing and even more apprehensive.

Because these one hundred veterans who gathered from all over the country did not know what happened until now.It is precisely because I don't know that everything is unknown, so I feel uneasy.

Du Qi came out, and he took his seat at the main seat.

Du Qi glanced over everyone present.Among these people, some are in their early thirties and some are in their early twenties. Most of them are young and can be regarded as young and strong.

"quiet!"

As soon as Du Qi opened his mouth, everyone fell silent.

A pair of eyes fell on Du Qi.

Du Qi said slowly: "I personally entered the palace and asked His Majesty to gather you together. I sent all your information to the Ministry of War and asked someone to copy the roster."

"That's why I have heard about you, so I invited you all here."

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Du Qi. I am the one who will hire you soon. Because there is a restaurant under my command that is about to open and needs a lot of people to do things."

"So, I invite you here."

"It stands to reason that all of you have been injured and have some problems. But you have fought on the battlefield and served your country. After you were injured, you retired from the army and it is difficult to support your family. Therefore, I will give you things to do. "

Du Qi talked eloquently, and continued: "Among you, those who are willing to stay and do things, stay. Those who don't want to stay and do things, can leave on their own."

"I would like to stay!"

Zhong Laoba didn't even think about it, and answered directly.

Now his wife is injured, and his hand was broken once, so it is difficult for him to use force, and he cannot do heavy work.so this

Sometimes, if someone is willing to use him, then he wants to stay.

Once the current opportunity is missed, it will be impossible to seize the opportunity again.As Zhong Laoba spoke, the rest of the people spoke one after another, expressing their willingness to stay.

For them, this is a rare opportunity.Zhong Laoba didn't want to, and they didn't want to lose the opportunity either.

Everyone spoke one after another.

One by one, looking excited.

All the people present, none of them were physically intact, more or less, there were some problems. Although these people had complete arms and legs, they had hidden dangers on their bodies.Du Qi doesn't care about these, because for Du Qi, as long as these old people

Soldiers have sound bodies and limbs, so they can be used.

Du Qi raised his hand and pressed down, and everyone stopped talking.

All eyes turned to Du Qi again.

They were all waiting for Du Qi to speak.

Du Qi continued: "Since you are all willing to stay, let's talk about your wages now. You have just been hired, and your monthly salary is tentatively set at one hundred yuan. After three months, depending on your performance, Make adjustments."

Whoa! !

As soon as Du Qi's words came out, there was an uproar.

Discuss one by one.

Many people's faces were filled with excitement.For many dignitaries, or for the rich, one hundred yuan is not a big amount, it is a drop in the bucket.

However, for ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty, especially for these injured soldiers, it is extremely important to be able to get one hundred dollars a month.

At least, to support a family.

Du Qi looked at the soldiers with bright smiles on their faces, nodded and coughed lightly.Everyone stopped talking, and their eyes fell on Du Qi again.

They looked at Du Qi, full of gratitude.
