I’m The King Chapter 73: :New Year’s Eve

In the twinkling of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and the barracks was full of jubilation, Gao Yuan's rare show of kindness, all soldiers can have a three-day holiday, from New Year's Eve to the second day of the first month. There is no need for training for one day, except for the soldiers on duty, the rest of the people can move freely.

These soldiers didn't feel much about the Chinese New Year before, anyway, that's the way it is, no money in their pockets, no matter how big the festival is, it doesn't make any difference to them, but now it's different. , Immediately reissued the military salary for the whole year of this year. Usually, food and lodging are in the barracks, and there is no cost. Moreover, these soldiers almost have no family members, and they come and go naked. Many thoughts come.

Gao Yuan's three-day vacation made the business of Goulanyuan in Fufeng City suddenly boom, which he did not expect at all. It is no wonder that these soldiers stayed in the barracks for three years, and sows can compete with Diaochan, not to mention After the new year, I have to go to Juliguan to station. That place is not far from Fufeng City, but it is really uninhabited, not to mention women, and there are not many sows.

Gao Yuan, who learned the truth afterwards, could only smile wryly, "It seems that I have to find a way to find wives for these people in the future!"

But at night, all the soldiers returned to the barracks on time. The cauldrons in the barracks were already steaming hot. Not only did they kill several sheep, but they also had all kinds of chicken, duck, fish, and white steamed buns. The strange thing is that Gao Yuan bought dozens of altars of good wine. Although it is not the best and most expensive wine produced in Wu Mansion, it is not the same as the previous mud soup.

Sitting together with Gao Yuan and the others, Zheng Xiaoyang, looking at the rich food before this bustling scene, sighed, and couldn't help but secretly wondered, Lu Hong would never pay for these things, how much does Gao Yuan have? Can you fill in the family fortune? He has raised these soldiers one by one, and he is even more loyal to him. What is the plan?

Seeing the eyes of his soldiers shining brightly and salivating, Zheng Xiaoyang was also depressed. After a few cups of wine, he was so drunk that he passed out.

Naturally, Gao Yuan didn't pay attention to what Zheng Xiaoyang was thinking. After having the reunion dinner with the soldiers, he made some arrangements, then got on his horse and went straight to Lu Hong's mansion. Lu Hong said that he wanted to eat with them by himself. For the reunion dinner in the evening, I rushed to it at this time, but it was just in time.

Compared with the food in the military camp, the food at the county captain's house is naturally much more refined. There are more than a dozen kinds of delicacies that dazzle Gao Yuan's eyes. He usually doesn't care much about eating. Later, Mrs. Ye has been taking care of him for a while Diet is basically what you eat, unlike Lu Hong's family, which has a special cook who cooks it in different ways. Today is the most important meal of the year, and I have racked my brains, maybe The boss is happy to eat, and it is not certain that the wages will increase in the coming year.

Even though he had made a solid foundation in the military camp, Gao Yuan still twitched his index finger when he sat at the table.

After drinking a few glasses of wine with Lu Hong, Lu Hong seemed to be missing something, and sighed, "Your elder brother has spent every year at home for the past twenty years, but this year he is going to wander outside. A few days ago, I received a letter saying that he has already arrived in the country of Qi with Mr. Li. The customs and food tastes are very different from ours. I don’t know if he is used to it. I burst into tears."

At this point, Mrs. Lu on the opposite side has covered her face and wept again.

Gao Yuan quickly stood up, filled the glasses of Lu Hong and Mrs. Lu with wine, and said, "Uncle and aunt don't have to worry about big brother. If you think that Mr. Li is famous all over the world, naturally there are people wherever you go. To be flattering, my brother's study tour is also for the sake of making great achievements in the future. The ancients said well that when the heavens will send a great mission to the people of Sri Lanka, you must first work hard and work hard. This trip, brother, is also in line with the ancients After repeating the words, the eldest brother can’t please the second elder at home, isn’t there me? If the second elder has any orders, just tell me, Gao Yuan will definitely not let the elder brother have the slightest worry when he is outside.”

Hearing Gao Yuan's words, Lu Hong Fuxu smiled, "That's not bad. Speaking of Gao Yuan, you have really impressed me these days. Even your aunt said that you are really the second generation." As a human being, speaking of it, do I have to prepare a gift to thank that kid Huo Tianliang? After all, it was his knife and brick that completely changed you. This year is a good year, and next year will be a good one The day can be expected!"

Gao Yuan and Mrs. Lu both laughed.

"The kid is afraid that he won't dare to return to Fufeng this year for the Chinese New Year, and County Magistrate Wu is still angry!" Gao Yuan laughed.

"Speaking of next year's prospects, Gao Yuan, I would like to ask you. You told Zhang Taishou that next year we will spread our wine business throughout the county, and there will be hundreds of thousands of promises a year? So that's the calculation. , our two families together, I really don’t know what to do with so much money, hahaha!” Lu Hong laughed loudly.

There was a bang, but Mrs. Lu next to her heard this, and she was so shocked that she even dropped her chopsticks to the ground.

"It's still conservative!" Gao Yuan laughed. Gao Yuan changed a pair of chopsticks for Mrs. Lu, "Fufeng is a border county, and the people's livelihood is difficult. After a year, one share can earn tens of thousands of yuan. The more you go in, The richer you get, the more you consume wine, so don't worry, uncle, we will definitely have an income of more than 100,000 guan next year, plus Xianyunlou, in short next year uncle can do whatever he wants .”

"The first step is to follow what you said, a strong army. Gao Yuan, I want to build an army of 1,000 people, so that I can speak in Liaoxi County, but we only have 500 soldiers in Fufeng , if there are more soldiers, I'm afraid the prefect will not like it." Lu Hong pondered.

"Uncle, Fufeng was robbed this year. This is an opportunity. In addition to the 500 regular soldiers, we might as well make a clever name and name them after the village soldiers. They are usually stationed in the village, but training, Weapons and equipment, we all treat them equally. In this way, even if the prefect doesn’t like it, he has nothing to say. Who told us that Fufeng is a border county, and has been repeatedly robbed by Donghu people? My lord pays, if he has any complaints, you might as well let Magistrate Wu go and complain."

Lu Hong laughed loudly: "Good boy, you always have too many ideas. Now you have 300 people in your team, including Zheng Xiaoyang and Naha, the 500 soldiers are basically full, but , I am always worried about Zheng Xiaoyang and Naha, are you arresting all the training of the army?"

"Uncle, are you going to put me on the fire?" Gao Yuan smiled and toasted Lu Hong with a glass of wine, "Even if I'm covered in iron, how many nails can I drive? Besides, you If you really do this, wouldn't it make Zheng Xiaoyang and Naha alienated? My nephew can't interfere in matters within the authority of these two people. Besides, uncle, you are someone who wants to do big things. If you only have your nephew by your side If you can help each other, how can it be done?"

Lu Hong nodded slightly, "That's why you are so good, you are very thoughtful about everything for me, when others hear about such a good job, I'm afraid they will accept it without even thinking about it, you push it away .”

"Uncle, crabs have crab paths, shrimp have shrimp paths, I don't know what happened to Naha, then Zheng Xiaoyang has lived in our barracks these days, and I have observed him carefully, he is not a useless person, Although he is more thoughtful, as long as uncle handles it properly, he can still be reused." Gao Yuan said cautiously.

Lu Hong laughed loudly: "Compared to Zheng Xiaoyang, Naha is much simpler, he has a straight temper, and Zheng Xiaoyang is just as you said, more thoughtful, but these two people are indeed not incompetent people, they just have a relationship with them. When you compare them, they don't seem to be outstanding. Also, I should be satisfied with you alone, how can I expect everyone to be as good as you."

"Uncle, this is elbow bending, my family is boasting about my family!"

"On this point, I can see very clearly that the two teams of Zheng Xiaoyang and Naha must be trained. I didn't know how to start it before, but now it's all right. With your model, everything is easy to talk about. Gao Yuan, you Now it has become the whip in my hand. From time to time, I will use you to beat the two of them. From next year, I will pay them full salary, but since they have paid full salary, they have to take out the soldiers Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." Lu Hong raised his eyebrows, revealing his arrogance.

Gao Yuan's heart moved slightly. Lu Hong didn't have any lofty ambitions before. He only wanted to get more money to pave the golden road for his son, so that he made the hundreds of soldiers in Fufeng County look like beggars, but now With money in hand, and guided by myself, it is a bit ambitious.

"On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, you will go to Juliguan to garrison. When you come back to Naha, I will pay your troops according to the salary of 300 people." Lu Hong laughed, "But I see you are in The way the team works, I’m afraid I’ll pay for it.”

"My money is not just my uncle's money. Put some in it, that's what it should be!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Uncle's salary can only be paid according to the routine, otherwise Zheng Xiaoyang and that Ba is jealous again, but I have to build a strong army for my uncle, take it out of my pocket, and the two of them have nothing to say, if they have the ability, they can do it themselves, can't they?"

Lu Hong patted Gao Yuan on the shoulder vigorously, "Chao'er has a good brother like you, even if I close my eyes in the future, I can rest assured."

Mrs. Lu couldn't help being angry when she heard this, and said, "What are you talking about? Take a sip and wash away your words. Gao Yuan, tomorrow, your Uncle Lu is going to give it to you Say dear, my aunt has prepared eight colors of gifts for you, I think you don't understand these, Zhang Yi and Tweety are even more confused, your family must not have prepared, is it?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help sweating profusely, "Auntie, isn't it just an engagement, why do you have to prepare eight-color gifts?"

Mrs. Lu and Lu Hong both laughed, "That's right. Fortunately, we have prepared for it. There is no man in Mrs. Ye's family. I will go with your Uncle Lu tomorrow, as well as County Magistrate Wu and Mrs. Wu. Go, as for us, we are the elders of your family, but it is the county magistrate and his wife who are attacking. Speaking of which, it is the first time that the county magistrate and county lieutenant of Fufeng County are involved in your marriage. Already."

Gao Yuan was furious, "It's not thanks to my uncle and aunt."
