Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 34 Application
Zhang Jun's mother woke up and saw four corpses dragged to one place by Zhang Jun and piled together.He fetched water and washed the ground again, and sat alone in the yard eating wine and meat.Seeing him calm, he wanted to be more afraid.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Jun's mother came to the yard and said to her son, "How can you kill someone here?"

Zhang Jun said: "Tomorrow I will go to the military camp outside the town to pick up food for them and return to the capital. One hundred cents a day, and one more person, I just ask for less money. When we arrive in the capital, we take the money and make plans. "

Last year, when the Jin army went south, they only attacked the Jingxi Road, but did not attack Kaifeng Mansion.At this time, in the eyes of people, Kaifeng is still a safe place.As for what happened later?Looking at history, later generations would find it hard to believe that the Jin army's attack was so sharp and Zhao Gou was so useless.

While watching, my mother saw that Zhang Jun was drinking and eating meat, with a calm expression. How could she see the appearance of killing four people in a row just now?The more you look at it, the more frightened you become.In the past 20 years, I still don't know this side of my son.

In the barracks outside the city, Wang Xiaolie and grain merchants were transporting grain from the city to this place.Cao Zhiyan brought some officials from Caizhou and recruited porters there.Soldiers can pick food, but they still have to set aside an army to protect them, so the manpower is insufficient.It was busy until late at night, and it was finally finished.

He ordered people to buy wine and meat, and Wang Xiaohun invited several grain merchants to drink in the barracks.

After three tours of wine, Zhou Yuan said: "General Yu has made great contributions to the country. It is said that we should prepare some wine and meat as a reward. It is really not good to eat wine in turn. We originally discussed that we should prepare some more cattle and sheep, and let the general bring them back. It's just that it's hot now, and the meat can't be kept for long. I bought dozens of jars of wine, and the general took it away with the food. Let's chat with us. "

Wang Xiaohun hurriedly thanked him.

The wine of this era is still somewhat different from that of later generations.They are all rice wines with a low degree of alcohol, and they also function as beverages.Especially in the military, wine has a special effect, which can indeed boost morale.And at this time, the society is still wine, men and women, young and old, all enjoy this sip.

There is a shortage of food in Kaifeng, and wine is actually rare on the market.Most of them in the military, for the officers' enjoyment, they brew some by themselves.Wang Xiao's hunting army did not make wine, and bought some from other army every day.It is very useful to transport it back to dozens of altars.

Lu Yuan said: "The Jin army was really vicious last year, and even Caizhou suffered. General, in your opinion, will the Jin army come again?"

Wang Xiaohun thought for a while and said, "The Jin army is going south to rob the wealth and population. Jingxi Road has already suffered once, and within a year or two, it should not come again. Look, Kaifeng Mansion was robbed once, this year. Then there is no Jin Army. Near Caizhou, it should be the same."

The three nodded together and whispered there.

The appearance of the Song Dynasty now does not seem to be able to block the Jinbing.Ordinary people, especially those in the north, have to make their own way out.Last year, when the Jin army attacked Caizhou, these members still had lingering fears.

With the information Wang Xiaolie now has, how can he analyze the movements of the Jin army?However, according to the memory of the previous life, in the next few years, Jin Jun did not seem to use large-scale troops in the Central Plains.But if Jin Jun doesn't come, will it be calm?I'm afraid not.

It's already May, how long can Zong Ze hold on?Wang Xiaohun knew that it was not long before.As soon as Zongze died, the north would be in chaos.There are not millions of rebels in Kaifeng, but there are not a lot of them.Once these people spread out from Kaifeng Mansion, the Central Plains must be a catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaohun thought of the problem that made him worry.Without Zongze, where should I go?Until now, I still can't make up my mind.There are so many places in the world, it is even more difficult to choose.

It wasn't until late at night, when Caizhou was about to close the city gate, that several outsiders said goodbye and left.

After cleaning up a bit, Wang Xiaohun called Cao Zhiyan and asked him, "How many porters are recruited today? Are there enough people?"

Cao Zhiyan said: "Including Caizhou city, we have recruited less than 200 people, and there are quite a few people missing. Xiao Sheren, is our daily price of a hundred papers lower? After the war, the price of goods has risen, and it is difficult for a hundred papers to support the family. .”

Wang Xiaohun said: "It's quite a lot. In the past, they cooked the fire by themselves. Now they eat in the army, and they don't need to spend money on housing, so the daily [-] wen is much more than before. However, if it really doesn't work. When you get there, you have to add some price."

Cao Zhiyan said: "In my opinion, it's better to add some money. The price of rice is so high, and if you come back from Kaifeng Mansion, Baiwen won't have much money left. Or you can ask Cai Zhizhou to send him to serve in Benzhou."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "In this season, if you send servants, won't you be scolded? It's better to spend some money than to hire someone. Well, tomorrow you post the notice, and you will be added." The money reaches 150 Wen per day."

Cao Zhiyan agreed.Seeing that it was not early, he went to the army to find officials and asked them to write notices.Write it early and post it tomorrow morning.

The next day, Zhang Jun transported several bodies to his room and hid them.Take my mother to town.When I got to the bridge, I saw many people reading the notice in front of the white wall.After listening to someone read it, I was overjoyed to know that Wang Xiaohun had increased the price.

After looking for his mother, Zhang Jun said: "In the barracks over there, people are looking for people to pick up food, and the money has been increased to 150 Wen per day. It will take at least six or seven days to get to Kaifeng Mansion, and there will be almost enough money. The amount is quite a lot."

Mother said, "What can money buy always? I heard people say that everything in Kaifeng is expensive."

Zhang Jun said: "That Yan Lizheng has quite a bit of money on him. As long as we get to Kaifeng Mansion, we can take it for a while."

Of course, my mother knew that Yan Lizheng had money, and she also knew that Zhang Jun had taken it.Not only that, but he also has the gold and silver that Yan Lizheng gave him a few days ago.But the way her son is now, she never mentions it.Who knows what will happen next?

Zhang Jun killed him and left Caizhou in a hurry.I took my mother and hurried to the military camp.

Outside the barracks, officials were recruiting porters. Zhang Jun brought his mother and went to the table to apply for the job.

The official looked up at Zhang Jun, then at his mother, and said, "We are here to raise food. You are enough, but what is the identity of the woman behind you? What can you do?"

Zhang Jun said: "This is my mother. My father doesn't know where to go. Now mother and son depend on each other for life. I carry food in the army, and my mother accompanies me. I pay for my mother's food and lodging, and I just travel together."

The official waved his hand: "What is the place in the army? People in a mess are accompanying them, disturbing military discipline."

For a while, there was a dispute there.Today, few people have come to apply for the recruitment, and the officials are idle there to grind their teeth with Zhang Jun.

Cao Zhiyan was busy with military affairs and went outside the barracks to look for recruits.As soon as he came out, he saw Zhang Jun arguing there.

Stepping forward, Cao Zhiyan asked the whole story.Turning his head to see Zhang Jun's body is strong, which is very rare, and he has some love in his heart.Ask him: "It's really inconvenient to have a woman in the army. You want your mother and son to go with you, why don't you go back to Caizhou?"

Zhang Jun said: "The youngest was originally from Yingchang House. Now that the Jin people have left, they may be able to return to their hometowns."

Cao Zhiyan thought for a while, and said, "Our volunteer army is meant to protect the family and the country, and it should be convenient for the people. It's just that the army is full of young and middle-aged men, and there is a woman, so accidents are bound to happen. Well, let your mother It's good to be with you every day after changing men's clothes."

Zhang Jun looked back at his mother.He nodded happily and said, "If the general said so, then do so."
