Huang Xiao's note to Chen Jiawu that day specifically stated that he should pay attention to a person named Li Hongji, and it would be best if he could be recruited into his army.
Of course, it also talked about some things about Li Hongji, and that he had an uncle Li Guo who was six years older than him! Come here too.
Who knew that under such circumstances, the two of them would come to the door themselves, and they were eager to join!
Chen Jiawu was really curious!
These two people look unremarkable. Why would the young master know these two unknown people thousands of miles away?
He also specifically stated that he should pay special attention to it!
Is there any difference between these two people?
Li Hongji and Li Hongji felt uneasy when they saw Chen Jiawu silent.
Chen Jiawu asked: "Can you read?"
The two shook their heads.
Li Hongji said: "This little man is from a poor family. When he was a child, he had to herd sheep for Aiju people and never went to school."
Li Guo also shook his head.
Chen Jiawu asked: "Do you have martial arts skills?"
The two nodded repeatedly.
Li Hongji said: "We are all from Lijiazhai in Mizhi County. Our ancestor is Li Jiqian, the king of Xixia. We have loved dancing with guns and sticks since we were young! We can easily deal with three or five big men!"
Chen Jiawu snorted and thought to himself, it must not be martial arts. Not to mention being able to hit three or five people, even if he could hit thirty or fifty people, they would still be knocked down with one blow. Could it be because they are the descendants of Xixia King Li Jiqian?
Forget it, I can't guess how powerful the young master is.
"Well, since you insist on joining, I will accept you!"
The two of them were really overjoyed. This was really a blessing from heaven. Just now, the general said he would not accept it for the time being, but he didn't know he would agree now!
Chen Jiawu took two fifty taels of silver ingots and gave them to the two of them respectively, saying: "Join our army, as usual, each person will receive five taels of silver and a monthly salary of one tael. You go back and settle down first, and report here tomorrow. Sister-in-law Wang, you Send military uniforms and other supplies to the two brothers."
Li Hongji's uncle and nephew thanked her and followed Mrs. Wang.
Soon, the two received two sets of clothes from inside to outside, as well as two pairs of shoes and socks, as well as a marching bag, water bottles, lunch boxes and other supplies.
He also offered vermicelli, but Li Hongji declined, saying he would only accept one portion and let Li Guo's father try it.
The two of them were still dizzy after leaving the camp.
"Uncle, are we joining now? It feels like I'm dreaming!"
Li Hongji said: "Yes, it's really like a dream. No matter what, this is a great thing! I, Li Hongji, have this opportunity today!"
In the future, I must do something great! General Chen just now is about the same age as us! From my observation, I am from an ordinary family! Our uncle and nephew must seize this rare opportunity! "
Li Guo nodded, extremely excited, and couldn't wait to show off. His father worked as a postman at the inn, and he was a temporary worker. He had been despised by others in the past four years, and now he felt the urge to return home in high spirits and in fine clothes!
Li Hongji had only been here a few months, and he wanted to use his eldest brother to get a job at the inn. He had only been here for a short time, and his impressions were not as deep as those of Li Guo.
Li Guo said loudly: "Exactly! Uncle, haha! We are in luck! Come on, let's tell my father the news! By the way, we have arranged for An Jiayin."
The two of them strode forward.
Li Guo threw the money and caught it immediately, laughing and saying, "General Chen is such a straightforward person! He just gave us the money and things! I'm afraid these clothes and other things are worth a lot of money!"
Li Hongji smiled.
"Didn't you hear what Sister-in-law Wang said? General Chen is here to do big things, so he still cares about this little money? Besides, if we join it, we will have no worries about food and drink in the future, as well as salary, so what do we have to worry about?"
The two of them returned to the inn happily!
Li Guo's father and other postmen were all extremely surprised when they saw the two people walking in with big bags and small bags laughing!
Father Li trembled and said, "What's going on!"
Li Guo slapped the silver ingot on the table and said with high spirits: "Dad! My son has met a noble man! This is a silver for Anjia. All these clothes and things were given to me, and my uncle is with me!"
Li Hongji also put the silver ingot on the table and said: "Thank you for taking care of me on weekdays. I will treat this as a tribute to my brother! From now on, when Jin'er and I are prosperous, we will honor my brother properly!"
Father Li was stunned when he looked at the two silver deposits on the table!
Why did you get this opportunity just by picking water?
The rest of the postmen are also jealous!
Li's father refused to accept Li Hongji's money and said: "You are new here, so you must have money with you, so just keep it!"
Li Hongji said: "We have a monthly salary of one tael, food and drink are all included, and we don't need any money. Brother, don't refuse!"
Li Guo also helped, and Li's father finally stopped.
Li Guo put his clothes and other things on the table, and others gathered around.
"My God, these are the best cotton clothes. Just these two sets of clothes and shoes and socks cost ten taels!"
"More than that! The workmanship is better than the cloth and even better than what the rich landlords wear!"
"Is this a kettle or a lunch box? They're all made of stainless steel!! Damn, this is so exquisite!"
…
The postmen commented with admiration and envy.
Someone asked: "What do those people do?"
Someone else asked: "Are you still accepting people?"
The first person said: "You quit as a postman? Why are you asking?"
The latter person said: "His grandma, the postman can't earn this kind of clothes even if he works hard for a year. If they accept me, I will stop doing this job!"
The first person muttered dullly and asked Li Hongji again.
Li Hongji shook his head and said: "This involves secrets, but we can't tell anyone, and we won't accept anyone now!"
The postmen obviously didn't believe it.
Several people winked at the same time and walked out together.
Father Li asked his son to collect his clothes and said reproachfully: "This is not the place to talk. Let's go back to the room."
Li Guo was embarrassed.
The three of them returned to Father Li's room.
Father Li also asked the same question.
Li Hongji said: "We really don't know the details, but they must be soldiers and horses of the imperial court. We will know in a few days."
Li Guo told his story again and gave the vermicelli to his father.
"Dad, don't worry! They are definitely serious businessmen with a bright future! You don't know how good people General Chen and Sister Wang are! Their expenses are very meticulous! The salt they eat is Bai Dehe. Salt like snow! This vermicelli is also extremely delicious! Even the dishes are washed with that spice! Is this the style of an ordinary soldier?"
Li Guo said excitedly: "My son and uncle begged for a long time before they persuaded Sister-in-law Wang to go and tell General Chen. At first, General Chen didn't accept us, but later, maybe because of my uncle's polite words, he changed his mind and accepted us!"
Father Li nodded and looked at Li Hongji.
Although Li Hongji is younger than Li Guo, he is extremely independent and visionary.
Li Hongji nodded and said: "Jin'er is right! This opportunity is extremely rare! And it must be a big thing or a good thing! It is said to let the people of Shaanxi Prefecture live a good life! Brother, don't worry Yes, we will go tomorrow, and I will take care of Jin'er! As for what we are going to say today, please don't tell anyone else."
Father Li felt relieved when he heard what Li Hongji said.
He said with a smile: "This is really a great thing! You two go and take a good bath, put on new clothes, and let us have a look! Haha, if we want to have a high official in our Li family in the future, all old men have to do it." I’m so happy!”
