Chapter 83: Adoption of Xue Rengui
In ancient times, there were only two ways to plough the land, oxen ploughing and human ploughing. Needless to say, ox ploughing is naturally needless to say, while human ploughing is one person pulling the plough in front and another person supporting the plough in the back, and two people must cooperate to do it.
This Xue Rengui is a talent, a person can pull a plow to plough the land, you must know that the force required to pull the plow and support the plow is simply terrifying, from this can also be seen, this Xue Rengui's arm strength is really amazing.
Li Hao walked along the ridge to Xue Rengui's field and shouted: "Xue Rengui! β
Xue Rengui saw that someone called him, stopped the plow, turned his head to look, and saw two strangers, an old man and a young man, standing on the edge of the field and waving to him. β
Li Hao put on a smile that he thought was very kind, and said: "Hello, let me introduce myself to you, under Li Hao, the word Yuanhao, now lives in Lantian, Chang'an, and this Chen Hu next to me is the leader of my family's trilogy." β
Xue Rengui arched his hand at them and said, "The two of you are polite, you don't know what to do with me?" β
Li Hao smiled and said: "I've never liked to go around in circles, so let's be straightforward, I hope you can help me do things and go to my house to make a part." β
"Do a part?" Xue Rengui frowned when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Thank you for your love, Xue is not interested." With that, he was ready to turn back.
"Wait a minute!" Li Hao hurriedly called him and said, "The salary is two hundred yuan a year!" β
Xue Rengui was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Hao to be so generous, but he still shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, thank you for your kindness, I'm really not interested." After saying that, he turned around and went back to plowing the fields.
Li Hao was stunned now, he thought that he would be able to get it by throwing money at such a poor ghost, but he didn't expect him to be so hard, or ...... He doesn't love money? If you don't love money, then what do you love? Woman?
Li Hao hurriedly ran to the field, followed Xue Rengui's side, and said, "Brother Xue, think about it, the salary is negotiable, you can add ......"
Xue Rengui replied without raising his head: "It's not about money. β
Li Hao's eyes rolled and said: "I'll help you find a daughter-in-law, it's all right, definitely pick a beautiful one, you are satisfied, no, how many do you want, I will pick as many as you want, as long as you can control it......"
"This nobleman!" Xue Rengui looked up at him with wide eyes when he heard this, obviously a little angry.
Li Hao blinked his eyes and said, "My name is Li Hao, not a nobleman." β
"Okay, Li Hao!" Xue Rengui said loudly, "I, Xue Rengui, am not a frivolous and fanatical person, you have seen the wrong person, please go, don't hinder me from cultivating the land!" β
Li Hao didn't expect him to be so bullish, not tempted by money, not moved by beauty, what is integrity, this is called integrity, although he is poor, he is full of discipline.
Li Hao also has no choice, can only temporarily return to the village, to the neighbors to inquire about Xue Rengui's situation, when asked what Xue Rengui hobbies, the villagers answered very consistently, like to practice martial arts, every day like to fiddle with sticks, dance with stone locks, it is said that there is a stone mill of hemp stone in front of his house, the surface of the stone mill has been touched by him smooth as a mirror, Li Hao went to Xue Rengui's house to take a look, sure enough, a two or three hundred catties of granite stone mill was ground smooth throughout, as if waxed.
"Talent, talent ......" Li Hao stroked Shi Mo, his eyebrows seemed to be dancing, and he muttered to himself, "Xue Rengui, I must get your ......"
Li Hao simply stayed at the neighbor's house, the main family was not very happy at first, when Li Hao gave a silver collar of five taels, the main family immediately laughed and said: "The noble person is so polite, I will arrange a room for you, you can live as long as you want." β
Since Li Hao lived in Xiu Village, he went to the field every day to help Xue Rengui do farm work, first helped him plough the land, and then planted together, Li Hao has been planting in Nantuo Mountain for several years, and he is also a veteran in this regard.
Li Hao's behavior really surprised Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui knew that Li Hao was a big family, although he was the same cloth as himself, but at least he was very rich, he should be a big landowner, he didn't expect such a noble person to come to help him farm in person, it can be seen that he is very sincere, and Li Hao is actually very experienced in farming, which makes Xue Rengui even more surprised.
Although he was very surprised, and Li Hao was also very sincere, Xue Rengui still did not intend to accept Li Hao's invitation, on this day, he invited Li Hao to dinner, and the quality of the meal was ...... It was a mess, Li Hao couldn't speak, so he could only smile and say, "Let's talk about things directly, are you ready to promise me?" β
Xue Rengui shook his head and said, "Thank you for helping me work these days, but I won't agree to do the part, I invite you to eat this meal, just to persuade you, don't waste your strength anymore." β
"Why?" Li Hao shouted depressedly, "Even if you reject me, you have to have a reason, right?" β
Xue Rengui hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "I have my own plans." β
"Yo, a dream year?" Li Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, he guessed something, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to join the army?" β
Xue Rengui looked at him with a shocked expression: "How do you know?" β
Li Hao said with a smile: "You dance with sticks and practice martial arts every day, isn't it to join the army, do you want to perform arts?" β
Xue Rengui nodded helplessly: "I really want to join the army, as a good man, I can't shed blood for Datang, I am unwilling." β
"Good! Be ambitious! Li Hao slapped the table and praised, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you go to join the army, what's the matter of staying at home and farming every day?" β
As soon as he mentioned this, Xue Rengui sighed depressedly: "Alas, I went to Jiangzhou Zhichong Mansion several times to join the army, and Zhang Shigui, the commander of Zhichong, said every time that the government had enough soldiers, so ...... Alas......"
Li Hao said with a smile: "That's okay, Jiangzhou doesn't want you, you can go to other places to join the army." β
Xue Rengui shook his head and said, "I heard that the surrounding states and counties are almost like this, besides, those places are too far away, and my family is poor, so I can't travel far." β
Li Hao nodded: "A penny is hard to beat a hero, Brother Xue, you are blessed to meet me." β
Xue Rengui looked up at him blankly when he heard this, not knowing what he meant.
Li Hao suddenly stood up very forcedly, raised his head and said: "I will introduce myself to you again, this time it is a detailed self-introduction, you listen well, under Li Hao, the word Yuanhao, once offered a prescription to quell the plague in Henan, and was rewarded by the Golden Temple of the Holy Temple. β
Xue Rengui was stunned when he heard this, his mouth was open, he could definitely swallow an egg, he was stunned for a long time, and finally regained his strength, got up and shouted excitedly: "You...... It turns out that you are Li Hao! β
"I said I was called Li Hao a long time ago." Li Hao said with wide eyes.
Xue Rengui shook his head and said, "No, I mean, you are the young hero who quelled the plague and captured Fu Yun alive with your own hands!" Li Hao! β
"It's like a fake, dear." Li Hao smiled brightly, looking at Xue Rengui's appearance, it seemed that there was a play.
Xue Rengui didn't say a word, and fell to his knees with a pop: "The villain sees Lord Li!" β
Li Hao was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Don't, you can't kneel, I don't have a title now, Your Majesty has already cut off my title." β
Xue Rengui said indifferently: "It's okay if you don't have a title, you are a great hero who can capture Fu Yun alive, and you can stand this ceremony." β
Li Hao said embarrassedly: "That's all luck, just luck." β
Xue Rengui said: "You can survive by luck on the battlefield!" But it is impossible to rely on luck to make meritorious contributions, that must have extraordinary courage and ability! β
Li Hao pulled him to the table and sat down, and said slowly: "Brother Xue, I won't tell you, if you want to join the army, it's a trivial matter for me, and I can guarantee that you will often win battles in the future, be a general, be a marshal, and pay homage to the prime minister." β
Xue Rengui looked confused, he didn't think about paying homage to the marquis at all, he just wanted to go to the battlefield to prove his ability, he just wanted to open up territory for the Tang Dynasty, and he spit out the pride in his heart, he really didn't think about the general and marshal or anything.
Seeing that he was stunned, Li Hao stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of him: "Brother Xue!" The Soul Returns! β
Xue Rengui really came back to his senses, only to hear Li Hao continue: "Continue the topic just now, if you want to do this, you must first give me a five-year trilogy." β
"Five years! So long? Xue Rengui frowned when he heard this, obviously feeling that five years was too long.
Li Hao smiled: "Actually, it doesn't have to be five years, if one day Your Majesty orders me to go out with the army again, I will take you with me, then there is no need to wait for five years, take a step back, do you think that making a part for me is really just a part, you are too naΓ―ve, let me tell you, I am going to open a special forces training base and a military academy." β
"Special forces training base? Military Academy? Xue Rengui looked at him blankly, "What is that?" β
Li Hao explained: "The military academy is the same as the academy, but the difference is that the academy imparts knowledge, while the military academy teaches knowledge such as the art of war and strategy in marching formations, which is a place dedicated to cultivating military talents. β
"I see." Xue Rengui's eyes lit up and said, "Your idea is very good. β
Li Hao continued: "As for the special forces training base, hehe, that's amazing, first of all, you have to know what special forces are, special forces are special services that specialize in special tasks, their physical fitness, and skills are much higher than normal soldiers, let me tell you, if a ten-person special forces team can lurk behind enemy lines, they have the ability to destroy thousands of enemy troops." β
"How is this possible!" Xue Rengui glared and exclaimed.
"Nothing is impossible." Li Hao said solemnly, "If you see the training method of special forces, you will believe what I say, now, I lack a training instructor, and you are the most suitable candidate, I will ask you one last time, Brother Xue, are you willing to be my family's subordinate?" β
The special forces and military academy that Li Hao said are really too tempting, for a person who is keen on force, what is more attractive than this, this time, Xue Rengui did not hesitate at all, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I promise you!" β
After working hard for so many days, he finally succeeded, Li Hao was happy, he didn't want to stay in this broken place for a moment, and immediately asked Xue Rengui to pack up his baggage and go home with him.
Not far from Xiu Village, Xue Rengui suddenly remembered something and asked, "Li Hao, you came to find me, you are far away in Lantian in Chang'an, why do you know that I am here?" β
"Forehead......" Li Hao rolled his eyes, and said casually, "Some time ago, an old Taoist priest passed by my house, and I asked him to calculate a hexagram, and he said that there was a Xue Rengui in Longmen Xiu Village, Jiangzhou, who was a talent, so I came, hehe." β
Xue Rengui immediately heard that he was perfunctory, but since Li Hao didn't want to say it, it was inconvenient for him to ask.
