Quang Binh is the center of Changnan, and everyone knows that Changnan is now at war with the Nguyen Dynasty, but in Quang Binh City, the atmosphere that belongs to the chaos of war is difficult to feel.
The street is narrow, there are many people, whether it is a street, or a certain corner, there are shops everywhere, this is the first impression of Guangping, it is hard to imagine that more than a year ago, this is still a dilapidated town, and then the narrow street, three or two kittens wandering around on weekdays, also make the street seem very spacious.
Coming out of the side door of the General's Mansion, Lin Wushuang and Qian Ningji are like many young couples who come to this city for the first time, wandering in the streets and alleys of Guangping, the changes in Guangping are what they have witnessed at a glance, from existence to nothingness, from withering to prosperity, in this bustling street, even if they don't say a word, they can see the satisfaction in each other's eyes, everything here has the efforts of the two of them.
Lin Wushuang tried to hold Qian Ningji's hand, but Qian Ningji's face was a little thin, and she couldn't do such an intimate act on this crowded street, although the two of them were now dressed as ordinary businessmen and couples, if they weren't particularly familiar with them, it would be really difficult to tell them apart.
"What are you laughing at" Stretching out his hand to drive a fragmented peddler away from the two of them, Lin Wushuang looked at Qian Ningji's smile and asked with some curiosity, a peddler like this has no store himself, and stopping pedestrians on the street to sell their goods is their main source of income.
"I think about the matter of Jingshi" Qian Ningji looked at her husband with a smile, "Do you remember the Taobao Pavilion near your old house in Tongzhou, at this moment, if such a family is also opened in Guangping, it must be a prosperous business and a daily profit."
"Isn't that Xiaohong, they haven't come over yet, I'm not familiar with life here alone, so I always have to have some money to eat" Lin Wushuang smiled: "Now you also know, the so-called treasures of Taobao Pavilion are just some gadgets I brought from us, they can't be taken seriously, and they don't play a big role."
"Why doesn't it work, didn't you succeed in luring my father over" Qian Ningji remembered the events of that day, and was slightly funny, the two knew each other and got acquainted, they were all in that place, who would have thought that now the two would become husband and wife.
Lin Wushuang also laughed, and on this noisy street, the two of them invariably felt a burst of warmth.
"That's right, you say that, I really want to open this Taobao Pavilion in Guangping, the last time I sent someone to pick up Nan Seventeen's family, I asked the two girls in the family by the way, except for Xiuxiu to follow his brother, Xiao Ding is not convenient to come, Xiaohong and Xiaoyu have already decided to come over, just leave a few people to guard the old mansion, I don't know, there are not many opportunities to go to the house" "The two of them" Qian Ningji blinked: "What about your proud female disciples, you plan to let them open a small shop in Guangping, this is too burying them."
"So what" Lin Wushuang was a little helpless: "Don't you know, some people have already laughed in private and said that our Changnan is a daughter country, you look at us now, the directors of the two major yamen are women, and the leaders of two of the three major battalions are women, and even the shopkeeper of the Sihai Commercial Bank, who is regarded by outsiders as our officials and businessmen in Changnan, is also a woman, I will now stuff two more girls into our yamen, whether they have the ability to do things or not for the time being, anyway, the hat of the king of my daughter country must not be taken off" "What's wrong with the daughter country, I think Xiaohong and Su Su, where you are, they are also women, and I don't see how strong you and Datian two men are in front of them, maybe women in a few hundred years are like this, and men are on an equal footing, discuss the government together, and lead the army to fight, no one will feel strange because of this situation, Su Su is a doctor, that must have been studying since childhood, in the future, our girls in Changnan will also read and write one by one, maybe Changnan can also come to the imperial examination regardless of genderMen and women can be officials, so it's good."
Lin Wushuang looked at his wife, and seemed to be a little disbelieving, Qian Ningji had always had such thoughts in his mind, such thoughts, in his worldview, it was a normal thing, but for Qian Ningji, who was educated in the Ming Dynasty since childhood, this was a bit deviant.
"No, didn't they say that men and women are equal, are they lying to me?"
"I didn't lie to you" Lin Wushuang saw that there was a tea shop not far away, pulled Qian Ningji over, and occupied a table, "I also told you a lot of things over there, after the child is born, if you want to know these things so much, just go over and live for a while, this equality between men and women is not something that can be done in one sentence, on our side, for this sentence, it has been tossed for hundreds of thousands of years, and now although it is almost equal between men and women, but, those concepts in some people's bones, It's not so easy to change, if we Changnan take such a big step at once, I'm afraid that even if we kill the Ruan Dynasty or even the Zheng Dynasty and occupy such a large area, this man all over the world, I'm afraid that I can't form a group to brush me, this kind of thing, it's too hateful."
"Xianggong doesn't want to be the target of the public" Qian Ningji instantly understood what Lin Wushuang meant, "Also, we are still very weak now, let's not make a big splash first, and when we are strong enough, presumably no one will oppose it anymore, but we can do it quietly now, then it won't be so hated."
Lin Wushuang nodded, agreeing with her, at this time, a little beggar appeared unkempt at the door of the tea shop, and looked inside a few times, probably because Lin Wushuang and Qian Ningji's table was the closest to him, he hesitated, and rushed towards this side with a brush.
Tian Erhu, who was behind Lin Wushuang, drew his blade almost reflexively, but before he could aim his blade at the little beggar, the little beggar had already snatched a plate of snacks on the table like lightning, turned around and ran outside.
The shopkeepers who were alarmed also reacted, and immediately shouted, although there are no fully armed soldiers on the streets of Quang Binh now, but people who have mainly stayed in Quang Binh for a certain period of time know that if something happens, as long as they shout loudly, then no matter when, there will definitely be a few ghost-like guys who will appear, this is the people of the patrol station, they are either in official uniforms or plain clothes, if nothing happens, they can hardly feel their existence.
Today is the same, the store shouted loudly, and in the crowd opposite, two guys wearing official uniforms magically appeared, and the little beggar was turning around and trying to escape from the scene of the crime, but he was blocked by the two, and it took almost no effort for the little beggar to be stolen.
"This guest officer, I wasn't frightened, this thing is rare in our Guangping, they are all people from outside, but after the patrol station suffered, these guys are quiet" The shopkeeper came over to greet Lin Wushuang very courteously, Lin Wushuang shook his head and didn't say anything, but Qian Ningji frowned slightly when she heard the store's words.
"Now there are a lot of these beggars in Guangping, haven't you heard that there are Zhuangzi who settle these people on the side of the civil affairs yamen, these people don't work in Zhuangzi, they wander so much in the city, and even act as traitors, don't the government care?"
"What's the matter, today is good, it's a little beggar who is hungry, two days ago I heard that Uncle Zhang, who opened a silk shop in the scraping alley, went home after eating wine at night, and was robbed, not to mention the silver on his body, even the clothes he wore were stripped naked by the thieves, if he wasn't found early, he was afraid that he would freeze outside for a night, and people would have to be wasted."
The shopkeeper sighed a little and said: "Hey, how good it used to be, everyone knew that if they dared to commit a crime in Guangping, then the end would be the life of going to the ore mining, but now it seems that when they go to the mine to mine, they can't scare the outlaws from outside, they plan to set up camp here with us."
"Is the patrol station eating dry rice" Lin Wushuang seemed to be very "curious" and asked, "I think they are quite competent on the street."
"The soldiers of the patrol station are also people, they have to eat and sleep, this tiger has people when they take a nap, if they really have the intention to commit crimes, they must do everything possible to avoid the people of the patrol station, even if they commit ten crimes, only one success, it is enough for us ordinary people to bear" Dropping a piece of broken silver, Lin Wushuang left the tea shop a little sullenly, probably seeing that her husband was in a bad mood, Qian Ningji was very gentle and comforted her husband: "It's just a small thing, don't go to your heart, otherwise, let's go back, I also feel a little tired."
Lin Wushuang smiled reluctantly and nodded in agreement.
Back in the general's mansion, Qian Ningji went to the back house to rest, but Lin Wushuang turned around and ordered to his personal guard: "Go to someone, please come over."
"Master, didn't the southern commander go to the Eastern Capital" Tian Erhu reminded his master in a low voice: "Is it because of the beggars on the street, the little one went to call the hundred households of the Guangping Patrol Station to the adults" Lin Wushuang snorted, raised his head, looked at Tian Erhu, and suddenly had an idea.
"Wait, Erhu, how long have you been by my side," he called Tian Erhu and asked.
"It's been more than two years, and the younger one was taken in by the master when he was sixteen years old" Tian Erhu was stunned, not knowing what Lin Wushuang meant by asking, but he still answered honestly.
"Now that you are in the pro-soldier team, Meng Yi is the deputy, what do you think of Meng Yi, if you are not there, can Meng Yi be competent for your current job?"
Tian Erhu's face was a little tangled, he was not greedy for the position of the captain of the pro-soldiers, but his master's question was too straightforward, did he want Meng Yi to replace him "Master, did Erhu do something wrong, did the little beggar scare Madame today, Erhu promised, there will never be a next time" He plucked up his courage and did not answer Lin Wushuang's question, and argued for himself.
"It's not this" Lin Wushuang's thoughts became clearer and clearer, and he couldn't help but get excited: "You have been by my side for more than two years, what you should have experienced, what you should have experienced, you have almost experienced it, and you know more about the generals in the army, with such good conditions and connections, do you plan to be a pro-soldier by the master's side for a lifetime?"
Tian Erhu blinked, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"You kid, I knew that you had been looking forward to being released for a long time, breaking the battle in the army, killing the enemy, and making meritorious contributions, I'm afraid it's something that you guys talk about every day" Lin Wushuang looked at his shining eyes and couldn't help laughing: "That's right, you just need to tell me that Meng Yi is capable of your current job, I will release you immediately, my personal captain, no matter where you put it, you should be able to take charge of it alone."
"He can" Tian Erhu nodded without hesitation, and then asked tentatively: "Which camp does the master want to put me in?"
"Don't let go of any battalion, go to the patrol station, go to Nan Seventeen as a deputy" Lin Wushuang finally said what he meant: "What happened on the street just now, you also saw it, now people come in Guangping every day, Changnan has an influx of fresh blood every day, these people are my Changnan strong strength, but, just like not all fields will be full of rice, occasionally, in the rice field, there will also be weeds, your task is to pick out the weeds in this field, do you have the confidence to do this" "Yes, as long as the master commands, Erhu will definitely try his best to do better" Although Tian Erhu was a little disappointed in his eyes, he still replied categorically.
"Don't worry, the battle has to be fought, even if the Ruan Dynasty is bulldozed, it is not a matter of a short time, not to mention that in addition to the Ruan Dynasty in Dayue Kingdom, it is still the Zheng Dynasty, you do your duty, prove that you are capable, and it is not impossible to give you a soldier and horse in the future, you are now a hundred households, this time you go to the patrol office, just do a thousand households, if the patrol does a good job, after three or two years, and then go to the Qingfeng Camp, it must not be at least the same task as the deputy commander, your lord and I have not treated you badly, it depends on whether you are angry or not" "Don't worry, master" Tian Erhu heard Lin Wushuang's promise, and immediately smiled, leading a team of soldiers and horses to break the formation and kill the enemy, this kind of beautiful thing is not something that everyone has, not to mention that the pro-soldiers have no desire to get ahead, because the pro-soldiers are confident in themselves, and their desire is stronger than that of ordinary soldiers.
Lin Wushuang nodded with satisfaction, this arrangement is the best, Nan Seventeen has to have a henchman of his own, and although Nan Seventeen has the ability, but his ability does not seem to include stabilizing people's hearts and maintaining law and order, then, delineating these aspects and giving Tian Erhu responsibility, in addition to being able to solve the current problem of bad public order, can also allow Nan Seventeen to have more energy to do what he is good at, which is simply a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
In addition, this arrangement also has a good side effect, that is, with Tian Erhu's example, these pro-soldiers of their own or something, probably have more energy in their hearts, Tian Erhu's release, pointing out a bright avenue to them, is enough for each of them to understand that Lin Wushuang has never forgotten the loyal pro-soldiers around him, as long as they can do their part, there will definitely be a good future waiting for them. aa2705221 t1706231537:
