"How can this work, we... We already owe you so much. Qi Qige said as he spoke, and his face couldn't help but turn a little red. At this moment, she even thought of the saying of selling herself to save her mother.

"Why not, you and your brother are going to serve the mercenaries soon, you can pay me back after you earn the money, and you and Batu have joined the army, and your aunt is equivalent to a military family, and she will be taken care of when she goes to the hospital, even if the fee will be reduced a lot, don't hesitate, this matter is decided." Yang Er said in a tone that could not be questioned. At this time, he undoubtedly became a pillar of the family and the backer of his family.

After eating, Yang Er first accompanied Badama's family to the hospital. When Yang Er appeared here, the dean was alarmed, and then found the best doctor, and after reading it, he concluded that it was just because of the cold, and he was fine, and he lived in the hospital, and it would be good to take medicine for a while. At the moment, Yang Er asked to open the room and be admitted to the hospital, which was naturally a green light all the way, and under the principle of special affairs, Badama was soon admitted to the hospital.

Then Yang Er accompanied Batu to the conscription office, he came forward, and the officers there were naturally omniscient, Batu's name appeared on the roster of recruits, and he was left to arrange accommodation and receive the corresponding equipment. At this point, everything he promised was done, and Qiqige, who had been following him, also found that his mother and younger brother were gone, and it turned out that she and Yang Er were alone.

Badaojiang and they naturally kept a certain distance from the two of them, and when they saw that there was no one around, their faces turned even redder, "Thank you, thank you for everything you have done for our family." ”

"Hey, it's not a problem, you are so optimistic about mercenaries, we should do something for you." Yang Er said with a grin. But after saying this, his face also turned a little red, as if he thought of something, but he didn't dare to say it.

"What's wrong with you?" Looking at Yang Er's awkward appearance, he was not at all like the pride he was when he was in the hospital and the recruiting office just now, and asked curiously.

Yang Er, who was questioned by Qiqige, had a red face, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and said as if he had made some great determination: "That, can I go to the propaganda office to see you in the future?" ”

"Huh?" I didn't expect it to be this problem, and for a while, his face turned red, like a ripe apple. If she didn't know what Yang Er was thinking at this time, it would be too stupid.

Qi Qige didn't answer, Yang Er was a little anxious, "I just want to see you, I won't disturb your work, take a look from afar, okay?" ”

"Hmm." After waiting for I don't know how long, Qi Qige finally responded, although it was only a light word, but it did bring out a lot of signals, and it also caused Yang Er's eyebrows to fly, excited.

When it was time for dinner, Yang Er happily returned to the Yang Mansion, but found that Yang Chendong had not eaten yet, and he was still waiting for him, so he hurriedly walked over, "Young Master, it's getting late, you should have dinner." ”

"Wait for you, let's go together." Yang Chendong's voice was flat, but when the voice fell, it really made Yang Er feel like he had to come.

With the continuous expansion of the Yang family, although Yang Chendong is still only a young man in his twenties, the upper aura on his body is already very strong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he already has the aura of not being angry and arrogant, even in the face of the Emperor of the Northern Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that he will not be afraid to let it go.

The meal was served, four dishes and one soup, and Yang Er accompanied Yang Chendong for dinner. After the things were taken down, Yang Chendong looked at Yang Er, "Is there anything you want to tell me?" ”

Knowing that nothing could escape the eyes of the sixth young master, Yang Er had no intention of concealing it, so he told everything that happened today from beginning to end. When he finished speaking, he still said a little shyly: "Young master, I like her character, I want to take her as a concubine." ”

Accepting her as a concubine, Yang Chendong's originally calm expression revealed a hint of appreciation.

He had a rule before that above the Leng Feng warriors could only marry Han women as wives, and other women, no matter how good they were, could only marry them as concubines. Yang Er was able to say such a thing, obviously in accordance with this rule.

After knowing that Yang Er had a sense of proportion in his heart, Yang Chendong had no intention of obstructing, but nodded and said, "Okay, you can just do this kind of concubine matter yourself." So, tell us what you see and feel from the Qiqige family, right? ”

After knowing that Yang Chendong would not obstruct himself and his own affairs, Yang Er also came to the spirit, and immediately said in a fifteen-ten, "Young master, the Mongolian people are too bitter, they can't eat enough, they don't say anything, even if they are sick, they have no money for treatment, there should be many such people in Shicheng." ”

"Yes, the people are too poor. In this way, the order will go down, but for all military dependents, the rent will be halved, and they can enjoy a 20% discount when they buy rice and meat in the future, and a 50% discount for treatment. But beware, mercenary warriors can only enjoy this treatment with one wife and one concubine, and those who marry several at a time forget it. ”

Yang Chendong can help others, provided that others recognize him. If anyone who enters the First City can be treated like this, it will not only require a large amount of silver as a subsidy, but it will also be easy to be exploited by others.

Being a mercenary is equivalent to facing life and death at any time, and such a dedication deserves a certain reward. On the other hand, those who just want to live in a safe place and don't want to pay any price are forgotten. He is not a god and can guarantee a good life for everyone. Even if it is a savior, it is also to save those who should be saved, and those who work hard and give themselves.

Listening to Yang Chendong's measures, Yang Er solemnly saluted Yang Chendong, which was his gratitude to the Sixth Young Master on behalf of the mercenary families.

Just the next morning, a new order about Yang Chendong reached the whole city. Suddenly, the whole city was boiling, and there were more people who signed up to join the army or wanted to join the propaganda office. After all, as a military family, there are such favorable conditions, which really makes people want to not join the army.

And this act of self-proclaimed behavior soon allowed the propaganda office to find two hundred good seedlings, and also filled the six thousand places in the conscription office. Even so, I don't know how many people have sharpened their heads and want to join the army sequence. But the rules are the rules, and in the end, Yu Mian stood up and said that if he wanted to join the army, he would have a chance in the future, but now he won't accept it for the time being. If anyone gathers together and disturbs the order in the city, he will be arrested and disqualified from serving in the army in the future.

Special times still require special methods to govern, and Shijo became quiet again, gradually shrouded in a heavy snowfall.

And just when this seemed to be calm and many forces on the grassland were in Maodong, two pieces of news came from the Security Bureau, and Feng Liang, the director of the Security Bureau of Shicheng, appeared in the Yang Mansion.

Sitting in the warm room with the fire wall, Yang Chendong carefully read the two pieces of news and put them aside. "Tell me, how are you feeling?"

Knowing that this was the Sixth Young Master's own in the examination school, Feng Liang raised his head after pondering and organizing a language, "Sixth Young Master, according to his subordinates, these two things should have nothing to do with each other. It is good that Beiming has developed a new type of artillery, but it has just come to fruition, but Zhang Quan and his party have been gone for a while, and from the perspective of time, when they set off, they should not have learned of this news, so there is no connection, let alone any threat. It can only be said that everything is just a coincidence. ”

The two things reported by Feng Liang were that Beiming had developed a new type of artillery, and that Zhang Quan, the eunuch guarding Datong Mansion, was already twenty miles away and would soon enter the First City.

Ever since Yang Chendong defeated Yexian of the Wara Department in the name of the god of war, the Northern Ming court has seen the importance of firearms. They first tried their best to get a Bayi bar, and began to develop imitations, but without guidance, they just relied on rigid copying, and the progress was very slow, at least until now, it has not been manufactured. On the contrary, artillery is different, they know that after the artillery is fired, only the explosion can cause the maximum lethality, so as long as they find this way to do it.

Originally, there was an artillery battalion in Beiming, but the shell fired by their artillery battalion was just a large iron ball, and wherever it hit it was a pit, the lethality it could play was too small, and the lethality would only be threatened by the side standing in front of the artillery fire. But after all, it can be regarded as having a certain foundation, and when the principle is understood, a lot of manpower and energy have been invested, and finally the news has come that a new artillery has been developed.

This news was also transmitted on the initiative by Yang Guang, who was in charge of the artillery battalion. When the Beijing division defended the war, Yang Guang was Yang Chendong's subordinate, and later formed a friendship in the battle, and his people also listened to Yang Chendong's arrangement to go to the artillery battalion.

The news came, but what the new artillery looked like was still not completely clear, which was also where Yang Chendong was a little distressed.

At this time, another news came that Zhang Quan, the eunuch guarding Datong Town in the Northern Ming Dynasty, was about to come to Shicheng on the orders of the emperor, saying that he wanted to have a good talk with Yang Chendong. Summing up the two things, it seems to be somewhat related, and it feels like Beiming has a new type of artillery and has enough confidence, so it is decided to have a good talk with this loyal man. But only Yang Chendong himself knew that this was not next to each other originally, but it was just a coincidence.
