Chapter 88

Looking at the ten-foot-long piece of wood, and then looking at the big silver ingot gleaming beside it, many people's eyes showed longing light, but no one dared to go forward to move the pillar for a long time.

Seeing this, Jiang Chuan ordered, "The bounty will be doubled."

The soldier carrying the plate took out another large silver ingot that was exactly the same from his pocket and placed it in the middle of the plate.

"The task remains the same. Whoever can move this piece of wood from here to the north gate will have these two ingots of silver ingots." Jiang Chuan shouted again.

Watching the bounty change from one silver ingot to two silver ingots, the breathing of the crowd suddenly increased a lot, the eager light in their eyes became more vigorous, and they began to discuss in a low voice.

"Tell me, this can't be a lie, right? If you give 20 taels of silver, it's too silly to move such a piece of broken wood?"

"That's right. I think this group of officers and soldiers are just playing with us poor people. This kid doesn't believe it."

"Hey, that's not sure. Just now we all ate the meal of Mr. Jiang. It's a real thing. Maybe it's real this time."

"Hmph, that little meal can compare to 20 taels of big ingots. Those two big ingots are enough to build a yard of big green brick houses. How can there be such a beautiful thing in the world, so beautiful..."

"That's right, the government doesn't believe what they say, and these officers and soldiers don't know where they came from. If you carry a log and run to the north gate, not only do you have no money, but you even cut off your head with a knife, then you will go to the north gate." Where is the reason? So, don't think about such a good thing."

There were various voices of discussion among the crowd, but still no one stood up.

"Okay, the bonus will be increased." Jiang Chuan ordered again without being moved.

The soldier put another three ingots of silver ingots on the plate, and the bonus suddenly reached 50 two silver ingots.

"Wow!" There was an incredible exclamation from the crowd, and their eyes were firmly attracted by the 50 silver ingots.

"50 taels? God, I can't save 50 taels in my life. This is enough to build three big green brick yards. I can also buy several cows."

"What the hell is this Lord Jiang trying to do? If you carry the wood, you will really give it to me? Why am I getting more and more confused."

"It might work, I want to try it."

"Forget it, how can such a good thing happen to us, you can be honest, don't be greedy for petty gains and suffer big losses."

This wave of people's discussion became louder, and many people were eager to try, but still no one stood up.

In the common people's cognition, let alone have seen this kind of thing, they have never heard of it, so even though most people are tempted, they still feel that this kind of thing is unreliable and unreal.

Even though a small number of people wanted to try it, they all shrank back after being influenced and persuaded by the people around them.

Jiang Chuan's face remained unchanged, his eyes scanned the crowd, wanting to see who was the first to eat crabs?
"I'm coming." Suddenly a timid voice came into Jiang Chuan's ears, and he fixed his eyes and saw that it was the thin boy who had just asked him a question.

"Little brother, come here, let me ask you, why do you dare to come out when no one else dares?" Jiang Chuan waved to the boy with a smile.

The young man came over timidly and said: "I have no father or mother, I am the only one, so I am not afraid."

Jiang Chuan was taken aback for a moment, thinking that this means that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes?Can a vagrant who is alone be able to fight?
"Okay, little brother, you are very brave. Can you carry this log?" Jiang Chuan asked with a smile, pointing at the log.

"I can carry it!" The boy looked at Mumu carefully and nodded, his voice was a little louder, and he seemed to have some confidence.

"Okay, let's start." Jiang Chuan nodded with a smile.

The young man stepped forward, picked up the wood from the soldier's hands, took a deep breath, carried it on his shoulders, and walked towards the north gate.

"Go, follow." Jiang Chuan waved his hand and followed, and a group of soldiers behind him hurriedly followed.

The hesitant onlookers saw that someone came forward to try, and they all coaxed a lot of discussion, and they all followed the boy to watch the excitement, and wanted to see if the boy could really get the 50 taels of silver in the end.

The noisy crowd came all the way, attracting many people who watched behind closed doors at home. Seeing the noise outside, they all opened their doors cautiously and came out after asking questions. They all followed the crowd curiously.

More and more people followed and coerced, and finally formed two thick human walls along the street, leaving only a small path in the middle.People are moving forward with the steps of teenagers, it can be said that it is empty.

Liaoyang City is not big at all, and it is only four or five miles away from the open space in the south city to the north gate. Under the eyes of the crowd, the boy carried the wood and quickly arrived at the north gate. looking forward.

"Steady, look - we're at the north gate." Someone shouted at the young man, reminding him not to fall short.

As the city gate got closer and closer, someone shouted: "We're at the city gate now, okay—"

But the boy who carried the wood said loudly: "No, Mr. Jiang didn't say inside or outside the gate. I don't worry if I carry it outside the north gate."

"If you have ambition, let's see if the official can fulfill it." The whole street shouted in admiration.

In the end, the young man walked like flying, carrying the log through the city gate of the north gate in one breath, and then stopped on the flat ground outside the suspension bridge. He planted the log on the ground with a "boom", hugged the log, and looked nervously at Jiang Chuan and his party.

The crowd also followed outside the north gate, and it was so dark that they couldn't see the side. No one spoke, and they all stared closely at Jiang Chuan, who had followed all the way on foot.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan's military uniform with a red cloak stood out among a group of ragged people.

Jiang Chuan didn't speak, looked at the young man, walked up to the soldier and picked up the wooden tray with five ingots of silver ingots with his own hands, held it in both hands, and solemnly held it in front of the young man.

The boy blinked nervously, then shook his head slightly.

Jiang Chuan looked at the boy frankly and nodded sincerely.

The boy handed the wood to the soldier, hesitantly took a few steps forward, wiped his hands on the worn clothes but dared not stretch out.

Suddenly, the boy fell to the ground and bowed down, unable to raise his head for a long time.

The commander stepped forward to help the young man, and the young man choked with tears and said, "My lord, I, I only need ten taels of silver, and I don't have to worry about eating and drinking."

Looking at such a simple and honest young man, Jiang Chuan was also a little moved, and said solemnly: "Little brother, no. I, Jiang Chuan, mean what I say. Since I believe in it, the agreed 50 taels must be 50 taels. How can I go back on my promise? Take it , You are a meritorious minister today, and you can eat whatever you want in the future, dress yourself well, marry a wife, build a house and do whatever you want."

The young man knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed three times to Jiang Chuan, stood up and took the wooden plate with both hands, and said to Jiang Chuan: "My lord, I have made up my mind. I will be with you in the future, and I want to earn more money. I need to build a big brick house, marry a wife, give birth to many children, and eat meat every day. So, please take back this money, and I will earn it back with you in the future."

Jiang Chuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect this vagrant boy in rags to have such courage and wisdom.For a teenager who saw so much money for the first time in his life, being able to make such a decision without hesitation was impressive enough.

"Little brother, what's your name?" Jiang Chuan asked seriously instead of taking the wooden tray.

"My lord, my surname is Hei, and my nickname is Shitou, so everyone calls me Heishitou." The boy said respectfully with his chest out.

"Okay, Shitou, listen, you have to hold the 50 taels of silver, which you earned by relying on your own courage and courage. Of course it's okay if you want to follow me. As long as you are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, I Guaranteed that you can earn more silver in the future, 100 taels, 1000 taels, or even 1 taels are nothing. Do you believe me?" Jiang Chuan looked at the young man and said sincerely.

"My lord, I believe you. I will do whatever you tell me to do. I will follow you for the rest of my life." The boy said loudly with excitement on his face, his chest puffed up even higher.

"Okay, then I'll accept you. From now on, you will be my soldier under Jiang Chuan." Jiang Chuan patted the boy on the shoulder and said loudly.

This conversation was clearly heard by the crowd watching.Everyone didn't believe it at first, but now they saw with their own eyes that a well-known homeless boy whose parents both died actually received a bounty of 50 taels of silver, so their trust in Jiang Chuan suddenly increased exponentially.

The crowd cheered happily: "What you say means what you say, long live the official!"

Jiang Chuan turned around and waved to the crowd, and the crowd quickly calmed down.At this time, the sky was already dark, and the surrounding soldiers lit torches. Under the light of the torches, Jiang Chuan, who was in uniform in the center, was as mighty as a god.

A big stone on Jiangchuan Station glanced at the crowd and said loudly: "Folks, I, Jiangchuan, came from the south and took down Liaoyang City to save everyone, so that everyone can live the kind of good life I just mentioned. Like Black Stone, earn 100 taels, 1000 taels, or even 1 taels in the future, so that everyone can live a life like an individual.

But this city of Liaoyang is too small to allow everyone to build big houses, buy new clothes, and marry beautiful wives, so I have to leave early tomorrow morning.If you are willing to follow me to live a good life, you can set off with me to the south tomorrow.I, Jiang Chuan, will do what I say, and I will definitely let everyone live a good life that is envied by others and that you can never imagine in your life.If you don't want to go with me, I won't force you.Before sunrise tomorrow, those who are willing to leave will gather at the south gate. Just bring valuable things. I will send other belongings to everyone when I go to the south. "

The audience cheered: "Long live my lord, live a good life with my lord." Some people cheered: "Go to the south, live a good life, build a big house, marry a beautiful wife, and have a bunch of babies." The cheers and discussions among them were endless like the waves of the sea.

Looking at this scene, Jiang Chuan smiled. Finally, today's work was not in vain, and he believed that the news of his firm belief will spread throughout the city tonight, and the people who are willing to go with him tomorrow are definitely more than those in front of him.

Jiang Chuan suddenly wanted to thank his history teacher. Reading more books is still useful.
