Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 523

"Yes! We're here to invite Sima De to fuck! Honestly, if you're willing to lead the way, this ingot is yours!" Yuan Yao took out a five-liang piece of silver from his bosom.

"Ah! This is... a silver ingot? I..., Xiaomin is willing to serve the general!" Wang Laoshi stared at the silver ingot in Yuan Yao's hand, and a light suddenly appeared, and he bowed anxiously.

Yuan Yao nodded, and threw the silver ingot to his entourage, who put the silver in Wang Laoshi's hands, Wang Laoshi took the silver in excitement, put it in his mouth and bit it, and when he looked again, a row of teeth marks had been left on it .

It's real money! !
Only pure sterling silver can be so soft! !

This five taels of silver is almost equivalent to Wang Laoshi's annual income from collecting herbs! !
With these five taels of silver, plus the money Wang Laoshi usually saves, there are almost ten taels. According to the latest regulations in Yuzhou, he can use ten taels of silver to buy an officially recognized servant in the market, and then Then use the servants to help him gather more herbs, and the days to come will be better and better! !

"Haha! Haha!..." Wang Laoshi stuffed the money into his arms in satisfaction, smiled from ear to ear, and thanked him again: "Thank you, General Yuan, for the reward!"

Seeing that Wang Laoshi got a piece of silver in the blink of an eye, Li Dali, who was behind Wang Laoshi, became more convinced of what Wang Laoshi said, fearing that the opportunity would be lost in the blink of an eye, he hurried forward to bow to Yuan Yao and Xue Jing .

"General, the younger one is willing to join the army! Please accept the younger brother!" Li Da and Li Er begged in unison.

Yuan Yao knew about Li Da and Li Er wanting to join the army a long time ago, so it wasn't surprising, but he didn't accept anyone who came to join the army. To join the army, he had to comply with his regulations.

"You can join the army! But I want to understand your current situation first. What are your skills? Who else is in the family?" Yuan Yao said.

"Back to the general, the younger one is 28 this year, and the younger brother is 26. Neither of them is married. Relatives in the family died in the war..." Li Da immediately replied truthfully.

Wang Laoshi was by his side from time to time, confirming Li Da's words.

Yuan Yao had already made a decision after hearing this. The two brothers, Li, Da and Li, lived in the remote mountains all the year round, so they have acquired hunting skills, are also relatively agile, and can identify many medicinal materials, which is exactly what Yuan Yao needs. It would be a good choice if they were assigned to the army to assist military doctors.

But Yuan Yao has a principle, that is, those who are not married and have not given birth to children cannot be brought to the battlefield!
This is not just for the sake of developing the population.

"Okay! I promise to accept you! But not now!" Yuan Yao said.

After finishing speaking, Yuan Yao ordered Yang Wu to take out 20 taels of silver, ten taels for each person, and sent them to Li Da and Li Er, saying: "These ten taels of silver are for you to marry wives and have children. Only children can become my subordinates! During this period, I hope you can practice martial arts diligently and have the ability to identify medicinal materials!"

"In addition, when you join the army in the future, there will be a generous settling allowance, enough to support your wives and children!" Yuan Yao said.

Li Da and Li Er looked at the heavy and white silver in their hands as if dreaming, and nodded their heads vigorously, looking at Yuan Yao not only eagerly, but also admiringly!

Yuan Yao smiled slightly, and said to a tiger guard, "Take Wang Laoshi and lead the way!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The tiger guard didn't allow Wang Laoshi to say anything, so he lifted Wang Laoshi up, put him on the horse's back, took off the medicinal betel from Wang Laoshi's back, and handed it to Li Da, then flew on the horse, and shared with Wang Laoshi. To ride, to gallop forward.

Soon, the entire cavalry team moved again, hooves were loudly clattered, and the horses neighed.

Yuan Yao looked at Li Da Li Er very meaningfully, and shouted: "Let's go!!"

Although a thousand riders is not much, but on this dirt road in the countryside, its momentum is extremely frightening. It winds about two miles from the beginning to the end, like a wandering dragon flying on the ground. Wherever it passes, the dust is flying and rolling straight. Rush to the sky!
"Brother! We're not dreaming, are we?" Li Er stared blankly at the distant smoke and dust.

"Of course not! This white money, if you don't believe me, take a bite!!" Li said.

"Then, can we really marry a wife?..."

"Of course! Tomorrow, we must marry a wife who is more juicy than Wang Laoshi's new wife!!"

"Good!! And not only more juicy, but also younger!"

"No, you must be able to have a baby! Didn't you hear from the general that you can only be allowed to join the army if you have a baby? No matter how juicy you are, what's the use if you can't have a baby?"

"You're wrong too! It's not the general, it's our lord now!! Didn't you hear what the general called the lord?"

……

When Yuan Yao saw Sima Hui, he was still deeply shocked by what he saw!
It wasn't for any other reason, but he didn't expect Sima Hui to be so poor. There were only three low thatched huts, a small vegetable field beside it, and a large open space at the door, and there were many strange-shaped things piled up on the open space.

And apart from Sima Hui himself, it seems that there is no Sima Hui's family! !
If it wasn't for Wang Laoshi's identification, Yuan Yao could hardly believe that the white-haired old man in front of the hut who is over [-] years old and cooking in the open fire is Sima Hui himself! !

The sound of a thousand cavalrymen startled the villagers of the whole village. They gathered from a distance, surrounded the outside, and looked at Yuan Yao and Yuan Yao's men in surprise.

"Zhongkang, go talk to the villagers and see if you can buy some food from the villagers!" Yuan Yao ordered.

According to Xu Chu's order, he led a few tiger guards and strode towards the villagers. No one was more experienced in dealing with the villagers than Xu Chu.

Yuan Yao didn't want to give Sima Hui the impression of being disrespectful, so he ordered his relatives to dismount from the horse and wait in place, but he only brought Wang Laoshi, Xu Shu, and Yang Wu with him, and walked towards Sima Hui with a smile.

"Good sir! Great joy!! General Yuan came to see you in person!" Wang Laoshi shouted when he saw Sima Hui from a distance, and ran to Sima's side with a strange expression on his face.

"Brother Wang, that wooden ox is yours!" Sima Hui laughed.

"No! Good sir! I can't have your wooden ox! If you really want to move, you need this wooden ox!" Wang said honestly.

"Brother Wang, this cow was given to you by Duke Yuan, not me, the old man. Please accept it and don't say any more!" Sima Hui said.

At this time, Yuan Yao and others had already walked over. Sima Hui put down his work and greeted him. He stared at Yuan Yao for a while, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency must be the famous General Yuan!"

"Don't dare, I am Yuan Yao! I came here today to ask Mr. Sima for advice!" Yuan Yao cupped his hands.

"Mr. Sima! Do you still remember the students?" Xu Shu also cupped his hands.

Sima Hui nodded with a smile, and said, "You are Xu Yuanzhi! Hehe!! A few days ago, when I woke up in the morning and heard magpies calling outside the house, I already knew that a nobleman was coming!"

He bowed to Yuan Yao again and said, "General Yuan, the hut is simple and poor, please forgive me if the hospitality is not good enough!"
