"Then you didn't give it to me, so you just took it to scare the profiteer. Good guy, you were just busy with your relationship..."
"Hehe, I'm just on my way. Besides running errands, it's okay to just get things done..."
Yes, this is another shameless person. He used the rights that were originally given to Xiao Han to pretend to be powerful. After the matter was over, he still had the shame to claim credit. As expected, he did not lose the shameless tradition of the army. Xiao Han could only sigh that he had encountered Unkind people...
Luo Wen was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he patted Xiao Han's shoulder triumphantly and said loudly: "Xiao Han, my brother is not leaving tonight. You see that my brother went to deal with the profiteers for you all night yesterday, so you must do it." I ordered it for my brother. For this meal, from morning to noon, he didn’t eat a single bite of food, so he’s just waiting here for this bite from you!”
"That's obviously my face..."
"Then I have no credit, but he still has to work hard. Brothers are here. If you come out with a simple meal, aren't you destroying your own brand?"
Seeing Luo Wen blowing his beard and glaring, pretending to be angry, Xiao Han couldn't help but laugh.
He was not really depressed to begin with. He was just joking with his friends. After laughing, he pulled Rowan proudly and said, "Hahahaha, just kidding! We don't have anything else here. We still have some good food and wine. You don’t know that since I came here, the price of pigs in the surrounding counties has increased..."
"Oh? Why did the price increase... Oh! I understand, hahaha..."
Luo Wen, who was half a beat slower to react, was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Xiao Han was referring to. He laughed out loud a few times and then pointed around: "Xiao Hou, to be honest, brother is actually pretty good." I admire you. I heard from Manager Chai Shao that when you came here, this place was still a barren land."
"It's barren there? It's obviously covered with grass. A while ago, it was full of mosquitoes. It was hard to sleep well at night. Fortunately, there are a lot of reed sticks here. Lighting one can also repel mosquitoes, but it's too smoky. Got it!"
"...It seems that the situation is worse than what Manager Chai said, but now it seems that although the scale is still small, it is much more organized than the villages and towns I have seen, as you know , We soldiers like this kind of orderliness. If it weren’t for the ancestral inheritance in our family, I would also like to move here for a long time like brother Zhang Qiang..."
"What's so difficult about this? I'll leave you a house. When Brother Luo wants to live there, you can come and live there. I still have a school here, and I want to find more teachers in the future. Our boys can do it too. Come to school, we brothers in the military camp will work hard for our whole lives, won’t we fight for a future for our children and grandchildren?”
Xiao Han said so righteously that he didn't realize that Luo Wen had stopped and looked a little weird.
After taking several steps, Xiao Han realized it and turned around and shouted to Luo Wen: "What's wrong? Let's go?"
Luo Wen's face was a little painful, and he bared his teeth and cupped his hands to Xiao Han: "Xiao Hou, my brother is a rough man, and he doesn't have so many crooked ways. I can't accept this arrogant brother, but if you have anything to say, Xiao Hou can just say it directly He said, brother, if I can do it, I will definitely do it for you. If I can’t do it, you can move the Crystal Palace here. Brother, I am really incompetent..."
Sure enough, the ancients were actually the same intellectually as modern people, or even better. If you think the ancients were stupid, it was just that they did not have a high vision for new things, but if you treat them as fools, then you don’t know who the fool is... …
Xiao Han has recently developed a thicker skin than before. He did not give out any gifts and did not blush. He came over with a smile and pulled Luo Wen and continued to walk forward: "Brother Luo, you are too alert. I am not bribing you." Those military supplies suppliers in our camp, I just saw that many people in our military camp are much older and are still fighting on the battlefield. I really can’t bear it. Isn’t the King of Qin also training the new army recently? These old people, too After fighting for a lifetime, it’s time to take a break. As you can see, my land is vast and sparsely populated. I am really short of people, and outsiders don’t dare to ask for them..."
"After much deliberation, did you focus on your own people?"
After figuring out Xiao Han's purpose, Luo Wen regained his vigilance and his steps became light again.
Xiao Han smiled and punched Luo Wen: "What does making up your mind mean? Let me ask you, look at my place, okay?"
"It's okay. Apart from being a little newer, it only looks a little better, so it's not that good..."
"What about my title?"
"County son, there are a lot of them in the court, but the fiefdom is quite close to Chang'an! The title is also obtained by relying on real achievements, so it's not bad."
"What about me as a person?"
"Well, it goes without saying that you are a miracle doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded in the military camp. Here, I see you will soon become a good person who will become a Buddha in every family!"
"Then do you think those retired veterans should come and settle here?!"
"Yes!" Luo Wen, who was surrounded by Xiao Han, spat out the word without thinking, but as soon as he said it, he immediately regretted it...
"But, Xiao Hou, you are too close to Chang'an. If I bring you a thousand and eight hundred veterans, and you can produce the best armor weapons, what do you want the emperor to think? I guess the next day , our brothers’ heads are hanging on the flagpole..."
"Don't ask for a thousand or eight hundred, just one or two hundred..."
"One or two hundred is not enough! You know that veterans are wealth. Last time you got fifty households, the generals in the army felt as if a piece of flesh had been shaved off their hearts..."
"Lao Luo, it's wrong for you to say that..."
Xiao Han saw Luo Wen's troubled look and sighed: "Veterans are wealth, but they are also human beings. Although being shrouded in horse leather is an honor, everyone wants to die on the battlefield in the end?"
But Rowan doesn't accept this trick at all. He is a killer himself and will spend his whole life on the battlefield. If he doesn't fight for another day, he probably doesn't know what he should do.
"Yes, I know, veterans are human beings, but in this world, there are wars everywhere, and those who don't fight will be killed. You are poaching in plain sight, it's not good..."
"I'm not that good at digging. There are only about a hundred households. If you just see new armor and new cement coming out of my place, you may not know what will come out in the future. You have to let me protect these things..."
"I have to protect you, but I know that King Qin said he would send you a team of soldiers, but you still don't want it..."
"A team of soldiers? They don't listen to my command. They stay there every day, just like a supervisor. Do you need me to study new things?"
When Xiao Han said this, he started to complain. He was so impressed by Ren Qing at the beginning, but now he feels bad when he thinks about it, and that's not all. There are so many secrets here, how dare outsiders come in? Those fifty households of veterans can only walk on this side of the river and cannot go to the other side of the river, because they are worried about sneaking in people with ulterior motives.
Neither of them could argue with each other along the way. They had already seen the door. Xiao Han and Luo Wen had no choice but to shake hands and make peace for the time being, and eat first! The world is huge, so eating is the biggest thing...
Because they had been prepared in advance, when the two of them arrived at the restaurant, the fat chef had already prepared a table full of vegetables. There were very few vegetables and all were meat. They were as rustic as the nouveau riche in the 1970s and 1980s. There is no aristocratic atmosphere at all, and a few large coarse porcelain bowls filled with wine take this country style to a higher level...
They laughed and washed their hands, sat down separately for the guests of honor, and exchanged a few more polite words. As soon as the two of them picked up their chopsticks, Zhang Qiang, who had not been seen all day, walked in from outside. I don’t know who Zhang Qiang learned his ability to catch up on. of……
"Rowan, haha, you're not dead yet..."
"Haha, Zhang Qiang, oh, if you don't stand in front of me, how can I dare to walk in front of you..."
As expected, they were brothers who had been hurting each other since they were in the army. This smiling and cursing skill made Xiao Han feel inferior.
After exchanging a few words, Zhang Qiang also dragged a chair and sat down, without saying that it was the rule to drink three glasses of wine first!
"Zhang Qiang... Zhang Qiang, take it easy, my stomach is full, please let me eat something first..."
After three glasses of wine, Luo Wen stuck out his tongue and gasped. Xiao Han's wine was not meant to be drunk like this. After three glasses of wine, his stomach was burning. When he saw Zhang Qiang, he started to pick up the jar and pour the wine again. , quickly put the wine glass in his arms.
Zhang Qiang is willing to let Luo Wen cheat. I think back then, Luo Wen took advantage of his dark face and drank a lot. Every time he drank, he didn't get drunk. Fortunately, his drinking capacity increased greatly during the training with Xiao Han, so he didn't want to take revenge now. , when will we wait?
"No, no, no, if you want to eat vegetables, drink this fourth cup first! Peace throughout the seasons!"
"Five blessings come to your door, okay, drink..."
"Sixty-six great fortunes..."
"Seven stars shine high"
"Wealth comes from all directions..."
The next day, Luo Wen, who had a splitting headache, rubbed his head in the room for a long time. It seemed that he had been inked by Xiao Han after drinking too much last night. Finally, he couldn't help but said that he would move a few households to Xiao Han's place. veteran?
But in this case, wouldn't my persistence yesterday be a joke? If I had known that Zhang Qiang and Xiao Han were too fat to wear a pair of pants, how could I stick my head in and let someone cover them?
No, I can't stay here. Neither of them is good. One always wants to put me down, and the other always wants me to give him an opening. If I stay here any longer, I guess I've been sold and still helping count the money. Anyway, the purpose of coming here is nothing. Generally speaking, I have reached the point. Let’s go now. I can’t be greedy anymore. Not to mention just one or two delicacies, even if I bring dragon meat over, I have to leave...
Covering his head, he made up his mind, sorted out his scattered clothes, and was about to go out.
But the sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and good fortune. No, as soon as he opened the door, Luo Wen never expected to meet Zhang Qiang who came in a hurry.
Seeing the neat and tidy look of Rowan behind the door, Zhang Qiang was startled for a moment, and then laughed: "Hahaha... Let me just say, brother Rowan's drinking capacity is extraordinary! How about it, are you still drunk? It doesn't matter. I came here specifically for this purpose. Come and have a drink with me. You must know that drinking to relieve hangovers is my secret that is not passed down..."
Poor Luo Wen stood there stupidly and before he could react, he was dragged by Zhang Qiang to have a drink to relieve his hangover...
