Han Shimou

Chapter 18 Black Wind Soldier

"A house, daily necessities, and half a taels of silver!" Those 'Cui' private soldiers, you look at me and I look at you, all look unbelievable. In this era, how can private soldiers be treated so well? Usually, they are crowded to sleep together and live on the meager food and salaries distributed by their masters.

"Is what you said true?" A private soldier asked timidly.

"Someone never talks about it. If you say it out, it's like an arrow!" Wen Han's eyes are clear and vowed, giving people a strong sense of trust.

Each of the 150 'Cui's' quickly measured the gains and losses in their hearts. A while later, a total of 120 people were willing to return to Wenhan, and the remaining 30 left sadly because they were worried about Cui's house. Wen Han did not obstruct them and asked them to untie them and let the thirty people go back.

Wen Han asked Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang to search how many rooms and property there are in Zhuangyuan. After a while, Pei Yuanshao came back and reported, "In Zhuangyuan, there are 266 small rooms, 12 middle rooms, five large rooms and one master room, covering an area of seven mu. The rest of the Hyogoku, houses, school grounds, horse farms, etc. cover an area of three mu, and there are also ten mu of agricultural land.

At this time, Li Qiang also came back. After Pei Yuanshao finished speaking, he made a salute and then said, "In Zhuang, there are three hundred iron guns, two hundred iron knives, three hundred bows, three thousand arrows, six hundred armors, another twenty loads of grain (one load is, one hundred catties, enough for 100 people to eat for several months), and thirty horses. No gold, silver and jewelry found that it should have been transported away by Cui's people last night.

"Well, the Cui family is smart and knows how to take away valuables first. But these things are enough for me to wait for what I need today. From now on, the soldiers and horses of Heifengzhai are named 'Heifeng Bing'. Only we know this matter in private, so don't spread it. This soldier is led by Pei Yuanshao. In the future, the 120 private soldiers of Cui's mansion will be led by Li Qiang as my guard.

The two of them are now taking their men to choose a room and settle down. After that, when you smell the chickens every day, you have to start training them for three hours a day. In the afternoon, let them go to the field to farm for three hours a day. Tell them that the farmland is theirs and the grain is their food. Don't desert me and think it's a shame to do this. The next time will be arranged by the two of you, but remember, don't make trouble!

Their daily schedule is arranged like this first. At the gambling house, Pei Yuanshao, you pick out 100 people every day to help the gambling house and rotate with each other. When you settle down, I will start to implement my plan and hold a 'horse hanging' competition, which will require a large number of manpower. In a word, the three things of training, farming and gambling house, you two will arrange it for me, you know?

There was silence in the courtyard. Wen Han looked at them and read a lot of things from their incredible expression. In this era, it is rare to be a private soldier with such a favorable situation. I thought that Wen Han was just talking, but when the matter was settled, it was a different attitude.

Especially Pei Yuanshao, who originally thought that Wen Han would hold the power tightly in his hand, but he didn't expect that Wen Han would delegate power to him, which made Pei Yuanshao happy and excited.

When the black wind soldiers and the guards came to their senses, there was a shout of high spirits. Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang knelt down on one knee to take the order. From today on, they have a new identity.

"Oh, when it comes to gambling, I think of something. Then Ma Zong will also solve it. Li Qiang, you secretly contact Ma Zong's people to see if you can pull some people over. It doesn't matter if you don't want to. You just need to tell them that I only give them three days to choose, and after three days, I will take people to sweep Ma Zong's gambling house!"

Wen Han suddenly remembered something and immediately told Li Qiang. Li Qiang has just been promoted. At this moment, he is worried that he has no chance to perform. He immediately took the order and has several contact goals in his heart.

"Good. Everything has been arranged. Pei Yuanshao, Li Qiang'er and other two people now take their men down to choose a house. Li Qiangru's guards let the Black Wind Soldiers choose first. Don't complain. The Black Wind Soldiers have achievements, so let them choose first. It will be the same in the future. Anyone who has contributed a lot to it will enjoy more.

Pei Yuanshao, listen to me. Don't tell me that you can open the back door to whoever you have a good relationship with. Here, they are all from Wu Wenhan. Regardless of the relationship, only merit. If you want to eat well and live well, you can train well and make more achievements in the future, and you will get it. Do you know?"

Wen Han's thought of leading soldiers is more or less influenced by the thoughts of later generations. It will not be used as affinity, but according to merit. In this way, the people under them will become much more positive.

Because Wen Han gave them hope. As long as you work hard, you can get the hope you want.

In ancient times, the people who had power and power were all cronies in the clan. Even if you have strength and no certain background, you are doomed to live a miserable life.

A total of 500 people from the Black Wind Soldier and the newly added escort looked at Wen Han. In my heart, they all thought that they were followed by a different good master.

With a new place to live, every private soldier looks happy. Under the arrangement of Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang, they began to live in their own room in an orderly manner. Because there were 276 small rooms, it was not difficult for Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang to allocate them. Every private soldier accepted it with a smile.

As for some meritorious people, like Li Gouqizi, who made great contributions in the battle against Huang Le. Wen Han specially ordered him to live in a middle room. Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang were assigned to the big house. The largest master room naturally belongs to Wen Han.

However, Wen Han did not live in it for the time being. It is far from the gambling house in the county, and it is not convenient to operate the gambling house. These days, Wenhan plans to go to the gambling house to observe and see what details need to be improved. Seeing that Wen Han did not move in, Li Qiang also stubbornly refused to move in and said as a matter of course, "I am the entourage of the prince. Where the prince is, of course, Li Qiang, is there!"

Wen Han did not force it, and there was indeed someone around him, so that Li Qiang would continue to live with him in Zhoufu.

At the same time, in the Cuifu Hall in Xie County.

Cui Wang, the head of the Cui clan, was listening with a frosty face. He was just beaten away by Wen Han and returned to the housekeeper to report.

"Hahaha. Well, yesterday Yang Honggang took most of the family property I gave to Huang Le. Today, he was robbed of Zhuangzi by the young man and forcibly took 120 private soldiers. OK, good!"

Cui Wang smiled angrily and made the housekeeper tremble all over.

"Master, I can't afford to offend Yang County Magistrate. But the young man is indeed abominable. The villain has told his master that he is familiar with the ten permanent waiters. But the young man disdained it and still led people to rob Zhuangzi. It's better for the master to go to Beijing..."

"Shut up your dog's mouth! The young man holds Yang Hong's order. Yang Hong is the official of the imperial court, representing the imperial court! I went to Beijing to tell the young man that he was unreasonable. What's more, I went to Lord Gao for such a small matter. Isn't it for me to tell Lord Gao that we are incompetent like Cui!"

"Yes, yes. The villain is ignorant. Please forgive your sins. Cui's housekeeper quickly knelt to the ground and dared not look up. He was afraid that Cui Wang would lead his anger to his head and take his life.

"The young man in his hand is brave and supported by Yang Hong. I am fighting with it now, and even if I win, I won't get much benefit. That's it, but I wrote it down. May that young man, don't make mistakes, or I will make you die without a place to be buried!"

As the head of the scholar clan, Cui Wang knew how to take it. After thinking about it, he made up his mind. However, looking at the gloom flowing out of his eyes, he hated Wen Han to the bone.

At noon, all the rooms of the Black Wind Soldier and the Guards were finally allocated. Wen Han sat in the hall of the village and talked with Li Qiang and Pei Yuanshao.

At this time, Zhou Long rode a horse and rushed into the village anxiously.

"Brother, brother! Why are you not called a brother when it's such a big deal? Isn't it that you can't kill the enemy because you are a brother, and you dislike it as a brother. When Zhou Long saw Wen Han sitting in the hall, he immediately said breathlessly.

Wen Han hurried forward to greet him, and knew that Zhou Long was talking about the seizure of the house today: "Brother Zhou, you just took office today. I don't need to bother you with such a trivial matter.

"Oh, what's the trouble! Didn't you say that you and I don't separate families? Why are you so out of the way! Let me ask you, are you going to move into this courtyard now? I'm going to give up being my brother and your sister-in-law!"

After hearing this, Wen Han couldn't help crying and laughing: "How can it be? The food cooked by my sister-in-law is the best in the world. I can't eat the food without my sister-in-law. What's more, even if I want to move into this courtyard, I will definitely let Brother Zhou and your sister-in-law move in together. Otherwise, who will take care of my little brother's stomach?"

Zhou Long's unhappy face suddenly laughed: "That's, that's it. Although the mother-in-law of my brother's family has no advantages, this cooking skill is amazing. Brother Xian, I'm going home for my brother and ask the mother-in-law to prepare dinner for tonight. Remember to come back for dinner later. Then Li Qiang and Pei Yuanshao will also come together. I will continue to get drunk tonight.

Li Qiang and Pei Yuanshao quickly said hello. Zhou Long said a few words to Wen Han, and then got on the horse and left.

This surprise made Li Qiang and Pei Yuanshao confused. Wen Han was extremely warm-hearted. He knew that Zhou Long was reluctant to share with him. The two had a deep relationship and had experienced life and death. In Zhou Long's words, his relationship with Wen Han is more intimate and better than that of his blood brothers!

In the evening, Zhou Fu.

At the strong request of Wen Han, Lin rarely sat at the dinner table. Several people started to do it (there were no chopsticks at that time) and ate with relish without any restraint, just like a large family eating happily.

After a while, the meal was full and drunk. Wen Han asked about the situation of Lin Shi, who is now managing the gambling house.

"Since Uncle Wen invented the horse crane two months ago, the income of the gambling house has been increasing. Especially with the continuous promotion of horse cranes, the income of gambling places has increased nearly twice as much as last month in this half month. We have also changed from one gambling house to three. The number of hangings in the gambling house has increased from the original 70 or 80 tables to 200 tables.

Now the income of a day, the income of the commission alone, has reached 200 taels. However, there are also many problems.
