Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 50 Groom, very promising

The half-old child is Yang Chun, who is 14 years old this year, and his family is Chongzhou.

When he was a child, Yang Chun's family was well off, because his grandfather Yang Zhankui had a reputation as a scholar, so it was a lucrative position to work in the yamen's house.

When the imperial court conscripted a large army to attack Jinchuan the year before last, Yang Zhankui, as a freshman, led the transportation of soldiers and rice commanders. He led more than a thousand civilian men conscripted from various villages in Chongzhou, and pushed chicken carts full of grain to the front line.As a result, it rained heavily when we arrived in the Songpan area, causing many chicken buses to fall into the ditch due to slippery roads.

Misfortunes never come singly. At that time, a large number of Qing soldiers who had retreated from the Jinchuan front line fled in panic. The peasants thought that the Fan soldiers were coming, and they were so frightened that they abandoned their grain and fled, causing all the rice transported this time to be destroyed.

After tracing it down, no one would listen to Yang Zhankui's explanation of the cause and effect, who made him the person in charge of supervising the military affairs.

Soon, Yang Zhankui was deprived of his merit as a student and kicked out of the Yamen. He was also ordered to pay a thousand taels of rice for the abandoned soldiers, or he would be imprisoned.

The final result was that Yang Zhankui sold all the houses and land in his family to repay the price of rice. The Yang family, which was originally a wealthy family in Chongzhou, immediately fell into ruin and became the poor at the bottom.

The 12-year-old Yang Chun, who was [-] years old, had to suspend his private school studies. In order to make ends meet and reduce the burden on the family, he became a servant of the Salt Gang with the help of his relatives.

In the past two years, Yang Chun followed the adults in the gang almost all over the province of Sichuan, experienced countless days of eating and sleeping in the open, and even tasted the warmth and coldness of the world. This made Yang Chun, who is only 14 years old, look a bit dull and not very Talkative.

All the battalion soldiers collecting taxes at the East Gate knew Yang Chun and knew the boy's personality, but today they changed to a new group of people who just came down from the front line.

The higher-ups arranged for the group of battalion soldiers who were withdrawn to rest to collect taxes at the gate of the city, and they also wanted to benefit these guys who had been suffocating in the mountains for several months.

Because they are soldiers from other places, these battalion soldiers are definitely not as easy-talking as the local soldiers, and their hearts are a little dark.

The goods loaded on Yang Chun's horse were only required to pay six coppers according to the old rules, but these foreign soldiers insisted on him paying ten.

The extra four coppers may not be much in the eyes of others, but it is unacceptable to Yang Chun, who has a few younger brothers and sisters waiting to eat at home.

The other grooms were also asked to pay more. Under the threat of the battalion soldiers, the old and the young did not dare to resist and could only pay obediently.

But Yang Chun refused to hand it over.

Seeing that the half-grown child in front of him refused to pay for the delay, the battalion soldier who collected the money got a little angry, pushed Yang Chun with the scabbard in his hand, and said impatiently: "Pay the money, I don't see there are many people behind Are you waiting!"

Yang Chun still didn't move.

"Hey boy, you're deaf!"

The battalion soldier lost his temper, raised his scabbard and threw it at Yang Chun without saying a word.

Yang Zhi happened to see this scene, and couldn't help saying "Oh!" "I beat someone!"

"what?"

Jia Liu looked back, but saw the half-grown child stretched out his right hand to hold the scabbard that the camp soldier swung down.

"Damn, you still dare to block!"

The beating battalion didn't expect the half-grown child to dare to resist, and was so angry that he wanted to take back the scabbard and hit again. Unexpectedly, the half-grown child held the scabbard motionless, and he couldn't pull it back no matter how hard he tried.

After trying several times in succession, the face of the beating battalion blushed.

"Someone is resisting taxes!"

Seeing that something was wrong, the other two battalion soldiers who were collecting money immediately rushed forward to catch Yang Chun.

Yang Chun first yanked the first battalion soldier to the ground, then stretched out his hand to clamp the two battalion soldiers rushing over at the same time, and threw them to the ground like throwing chickens.

He moved so fast and with so much strength that he blinded Jia Liu and Shuan Zhu, the master and servant not far away.

Three battalion soldiers were knocked to the ground one after another. Yang Chun's actions were undoubtedly the biggest challenge to the authority of the battalion soldiers.

"catch him!"

"Hack him!"

"."

A dozen battalion soldiers rushed over with their swords drawn, and then everyone including Jia Liu in front of the city gate saw a young man using a pole on his horse to turn over a dozen battalion soldiers with swords on top of each other. land.

It's him, it's him!

Jia's six eyes were straightened, his breathing quickened, and his heart beat even harder.

It is true that there is nowhere to look for when you have broken through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

I never thought that the powerful person I've been looking for would be such an unattractive young man.

There was a lot of noise.

The grooms who came with Yang Chun were either scared and hid away, or stepped forward to hold Yang Chun, and some even snatched the pole from his hand, for fear that the boy would be beaten to death again if he was impulsive. Bing, that is a real disaster.

A group of battalion soldiers armed with firearms rushed down from the city under the leadership of a general-looking officer. When they saw the mourning subordinates lying on the ground, the officer was furious. He pointed at Yang Chun who was being persuaded by the grooms and shouted. He said: "It's a thief, take him down and report to him for credit!"

In one word, Yang Chun was identified as a traitor of Fanbing.

"What kind of thief, don't scare other people's children. I am from the Han Army Zhenglan Banner. I just watched what happened just now. It's nothing serious. It's just that this kid is a little impulsive."

Jia Liu came forward and threw his Buthabaidang'a badge into the hands of the general manager.

The Han army is facing the blue flag?
The general manager was taken aback, looked down to see that the sign in his hand was indeed used by the Eight Banners soldiers, and then heard the other party's fluent Beijing movies, and that indeed a group of Eight Banners soldiers from Beijing had just arrived in Chongzhou, so he had no doubts about Jia Liu's identity.

Next, Jia Liu negotiated with the general to deal with the aftermath.

Although Ba Zong is a seven-rank military post, he obviously has no official authority to show off in front of Jia Liu, the number one of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, Butha.

Coincidentally, Zu Yingyuan passed by with a group of people, saw Jia Liu talking to the officers of the green battalion, and saw a lot of green battalion soldiers lying on the ground, thinking that Jia Liu had joined the green battalion.

"Captain Jia, here we come!"

Zu Yingyuan was very loyal, and rushed forward with a shout of hello.

Wang Fu was more of a thief, shouting as he ran: "Call people, call people, those who are full of the Eight Banners, those who are covered by the Eight Banners, those from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and those from the Han Army, come here!"

Things seem to be getting bigger.

"Okay, why bother with a child, this ten silver is the right of me to pay the medical expenses to the brothers on behalf of the child."

"How can I make you spend money! Hey, you are welcome!"

Seeing more and more children from the Eight Banners gathered here, and knowing that his family must be unreasonable, he was afraid that things would go wrong, so he went along with the flow and collected the twelve taels of medical expenses from Jia Liu to settle the matter.

After letting the crowd disperse, Jia Liu walked up to the half-grown boy and said with a smile, "It's all right."

Yang Chun knew that it was the other party who saved him, but he was not good at words and didn't know what to say, so he nodded.

Yang Zhi was unhappy: "Little guy, don't you thank my young master?"

Yang Chun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed to Jia Liu and said, "Thank you!"

Jia Liu looked at the goods on the half-grown boy's pack horse, and suddenly asked him, "How much money do you earn a year in this business?"

"what?"

Yang Chun hesitated for a while, and told Jia Liu that he could earn five or six taels a year by running goods with the caravan.

This is really exhausting to earn hard money.

Jia Liu shook his head, and said directly to the half-grown children: "How about this, I see that you are very skilled, why don't you become my groom. Well, how about I give you 20 taels a year?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party to agree or not, he directly took out an ingot of five taels of silver ingot from the purse and stuffed it in the other party's hand, and said with a smile: "This is for you in advance."

Looking at it, it seems that it is impossible for a half-grown child not to be his groom.

Yang Zhi muttered to the side: This kid has become a groom, what should I do?
Yang Chun was also confused by Jia Liu's actions, and stood there in a daze.

"Forget it, let me tell you the truth, you should be the groom if you don't deserve it, because although I saved you, I can't protect you every day. Do you think that you have injured so many soldiers and they will spare you? "

Jia Liu is very frank.

Yang Chun was silent, he knew what the other party said was the truth, even if those soldiers didn't come to make trouble for him, he couldn't continue working in the caravan.

If there is no work to do, what will the younger brothers and sisters eat at home?

"Don't worry, I won't lose you. You are so skilled, I'll let you take the martial arts exam in a few years, and then I'll find you a job. After all, it's better than running around in a caravan all your life, right? "

Jia Liu was determined to bring the thug in front of him under his control, and even planned the future for him.

Seeing that the young master really liked the half-grown child, Yang Zhi followed suit and persuaded: "Little guy, my young master always keeps his word, this is your opportunity, you have to seize it well."

The half-grown child seemed to be thinking, and after about a dozen breaths, he finally opened his mouth, but instead of agreeing, he made his own request.

"If you want me to do it with you, 20 taels is not enough, you have to pay more."

Ok?
Jia Liu thought the words were familiar.

Yang Zhi snorted: "Little guy, 20 taels is a lot, you only earn four or five taels a year"

Jia Liu interrupted and asked the half-grown children directly: "Tell me, why the extra money?"

Yang Chun hesitated for a moment, and said calmly: "You are the military master of the Eight Banners. If I become your groom, I might have to go to the battlefield with you. It is not worthwhile to ask me to work for you at 20 taels."

Jia Liu nodded slightly, this kid is not only good at skills, but also has a very clever mind, which is completely different from the dull and honest appearance.

"How much do you want to add?"

"30 taels a year."

"."

Jia Liu thought how much the half-grown child wanted from him, so he added ten taels without thinking, and agreed on the spot.

With such a good skill, let alone 30 taels a year, he has nothing to say about 100 taels a year.

"You take the ten taels of silver, whether to give it to your parents or keep it for yourself, it doesn't matter if you and I have something to do now, you go back and find me in the military camp outside the city in the evening."

After asking Yang Zhi to give the half-old boy ten taels of silver, Jia Liu was about to enter the city, and remembered something again, "Oh, yes, I am the first Butha Jiadongge of the Han Army Banner, report my name outside the camp." That's it."

Looking at the two real ingots of silver ingots in his hands, Yang Chun was a little dazed, hesitated and said in a muffled voice: "Aren't you afraid that I will take your money and run away?"

Jia Liu laughed, and waved his hand to signal Shuan Zhu to go into the city with him.

"Master, you haven't asked his name yet?"

Yang Zhi thought to himself that the young master didn't even ask people's names, so don't take advantage of them again, and turn around and find no one.

Ask the half-old child for the young master: "What's your name?"

"My name is Yang Chun, and they all call me Xiaochunzi."

"Yang Chun, Xiao Chunzi?"

Jia Liu couldn't help being happy when he heard the name, he shook his head and said, "What's the name of a man called Chun? You're still Xiao Chunzi. Those who don't know think you are a eunuch in the palace."

Yang Chun didn't say a word. In fact, he was not satisfied with his own name, but who would let this name be given by his father?

"Well, since you met me and are willing to do things with me in the future, why don't you call me Yang Yuchun."

Jia Liu thought it was a good name.

"Xiaochunzi, what do you think?"

Shuan Zhu felt that it was necessary to seek the opinions of the children.
