Chapter 81 Chapter 83: Incorporating Xue Rengui

In ancient times, there were only two ways of plowing the fields, ox plowing and human plowing. It goes without saying that ox plowing is natural, but human plowing requires one person to pull the plow in front and the other to hold the plow behind. Two people must cooperate. If one person , it will definitely not be able to cultivate the land.

This Xue Rengui is considered a talent. He can plow the land by dragging the plow alone. The strength required to both pull and hold the plow is simply terrifying. From this, we can also see that Xue Rengui's arm strength is really amazing.

Li Hao walked along the ridge to Xue Rengui's field, and called out: "Xue Rengui!"

When Xue Rengui saw someone calling him, he stopped the plow, turned his head and saw two strangers, one old and one young, standing by the field and waving to him. Although he was puzzled, he still left the plow and walked over, asking: "You two call me?"

Li Hao put on a friendly smile and said, "Hi, let me introduce myself to you. My name is Li Hao, whose name is Yuanhao. He currently lives in Lantian, Chang'an. The Chen Hu next to me is the leader of my family."

Xue Rengui cupped his hands towards them and said: "You two are polite, what can you do to me?"

Li Hao smiled and said: "I don't like going around in circles, so let's be straightforward, I hope you can help me with things, go to my house and do a part."

"Do a trilogy?" Xue Rengui frowned when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "Thank you for your love, Xue is not interested." After finishing speaking, he was ready to turn around.

"Wait a minute!" Li Hao hurriedly called him, and said, "The salary is two hundred per year!"

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 speaking, he turned his head and went back to continue plowing.

Li Hao was stupefied now. He thought that he would be able to deal with such a poor man just by spending money, but he didn't expect him to be so tough, or... he doesn't love money?If you don't love money, what do you love?woman?
Li Hao hurriedly ran to the field, followed Xue Rengui, and said, "Brother Xue, think about it, the salary is negotiable, you can add more..."

Xue Rengui replied without raising his head: "It's not about money."

Li Hao rolled his eyes and said, "I'll help you find a wife. This is the head office. You must choose a beautiful one that you are satisfied with. No, I will pick as many as you want, as long as you can handle it... "

"This nobleman!" Xue Rengui raised his head and stared at him, obviously a little angry.

Li Hao blinked his eyes and said, "My name is Li Hao, not a nobleman."

"Okay, Li Hao!" Xue Rengui said loudly, "I, Xue Rengui, am not a frivolous fanatic. You have misunderstood the person. Please go, and don't hinder me from plowing the land!"

Li Hao didn't expect him to be so arrogant, not to be seduced by money, not to be moved by beauty, what is integrity, this is integrity, although poor, but full of integrity.

Li Hao had no choice but to go back to the village temporarily and ask the neighbors about Xue Rengui's situation. When asked about Xue Rengui's hobbies, the villagers gave the same answer. He likes to practice martial arts. He likes to play with sticks and stone locks every day , It is said that there is a hemp stone mill in front of his house, and the surface of the stone mill has been touched as smooth as a mirror by him. Li Hao went to Xue Rengui's house to have a look. The whole body is smooth, as if it has been waxed.

"Talent, talent..." Li Hao caressed the stone mill, his eyebrows seemed to be dancing, and muttered to himself, "Xue Rengui, I must get you..."

Li Hao simply stayed at the neighbor's house. The host's family was not very happy at first, but when Li Hao gave him a five-liang silver collar, the host's family immediately laughed and said, "Your honor is so kind, I will give it to you immediately." You arrange the room and you can stay as long as you want.”

Since Li Hao settled down in Xiucun, he went to the fields to help Xue Rengui with farm work every day. He first helped him plow the land, and then planted together. Li Hao has been farming in Nantuo Mountain for several years, so he is considered a veteran in this field. .

Li Hao's behavior really surprised Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui knew that Li Hao was from a wealthy family. 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 surprised and Li Hao was very sincere, Xue Rengui still didn't intend to accept Li Hao's invitation. Today, he invited Li Hao to dinner, and the quality of the food...was a mess. Li Hao had no choice but to smile and say: " Let's talk about things directly, are you ready to promise me?"

Xue Rengui shook his head, and said: "Thank you for helping me with my work these days, but I will not agree to a trilogy. I invite you to this meal, just to persuade you not to waste your energy."

"Why!" Li Hao yelled depressed, "Even if you reject me, you must have a reason, right?"

Xue Rengui hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "I have my own plan."

"Yo, a young man with a dream?" Li Hao's eyes lit up suddenly, he guessed something, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to join the army?"

Xue Rengui looked at him in shock: "How do you know?"

Li Hao smiled and said: "You practice martial arts with sticks every day, isn't it for joining the army, is it because you want to show off?"

Xue Rengui nodded helplessly: "I really want to join the army. As a good man, I have nothing to do with my abilities, and I can't shed my blood for Datang. I am unwilling."

"Good! Ambitious!" Li Hao slapped the table in praise, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Then you go to join the army, what's the point of farming every day at home?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Xue Rengui sighed depressingly: "Oh, I went to Zhechong Mansion in Jiangzhou several times to join the army, and Captain Zhang Shigui of Zhechong always said that there were enough soldiers in the mansion, so... oh..."

Li Hao smiled and said: "That's okay, Jiangzhou doesn't want you, you can go to other places to join the army."

Xue Rengui shook his head and said, "I heard that it is almost the same in the nearby states and counties. Besides, those places are too far away, and my family is poor, so I can't travel far."

Li Hao nodded: "A penny can't beat a hero, brother Xue, you are lucky to meet me."

Xue Rengui raised his head and looked at him blankly when he heard the words, not knowing what the words meant.

Li Hao suddenly stood up pretentiously, raised his head with his hands behind his back and said, "I will introduce myself to you again, this time it is a detailed self-introduction. The prescription was used to quell the plague in Henan, and was rewarded by the Golden Palace of the current emperor, and later he was valued by the emperor, and he was ordered to go to Tuyuhun with the army, and captured the enemy chief Fuyun with his own hands, and was awarded the title of Lantian County male by His Majesty's imperial decree."

Xue Rengui was dumbfounded when he heard the words, his mouth was opened so wide that he could definitely swallow an egg. He was stunned for a long time, and finally recovered, stood up and shouted excitedly: "You... so you are Li Hao!"

"I said earlier that my name is Li Hao." Li Hao said with his eyes wide open.

Xue Rengui shook his head and said, "No, what I mean is, you are the young hero who quelled the plague and captured Fu Yun with your own hands! Li Hao!"

"It's like a fake, my dear." Li Hao smiled brightly, looking at Xue Rengui's appearance, it seemed like something was going on.

Without saying a word, Xue Rengui fell to his knees with a thud: "The villain sees Lord Li!"

Li Hao was startled, and hurried forward to help him up: "Don't, I can't kneel, I don't have a title now, His Majesty has cut off my title."

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 deserve this gift."

Li Hao said awkwardly: "It's all luck, just luck."

Xue Rengui said: "You can survive on the battlefield by luck! But you can't rely on luck to make meritorious deeds. You must have extraordinary courage and ability!"

Li Hao pulled him to the table and sat down, slowly said: "Brother Xue, to tell you the truth, it is a trivial matter for me that you want to join the army, and I can guarantee that you will definitely To win battles, to be a general, to be a marshal, to be a marquis and a prime minister is not a problem.”

Xue Rengui looked bewildered, he never thought about conferring a marquis, he just wanted to go to the battlefield to prove his ability, he just wanted to expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty, and he expressed his great pride, he really didn't think about generals and marshals of.

Seeing him stunned, Li Hao stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of him: "Brother Xue! The soul is back!"

Xue Rengui really came back to his senses, only to hear Li Hao continue: "Continue with the topic just now, if you want to do this, you must first make me a part for five years."

"Five years! So long?" Xue Rengui frowned upon hearing this, obviously thinking that five years was too long.

Li Hao smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't have to be five years. If one day His 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. Taking a step back, do you think it will be given to me?" Is it really just a mere memo, you are too naive, let me tell you, I am going to open a special forces training base and a military academy."

"Special forces training base? Military academy?" Xue Rengui looked at him blankly, "What is that?"

Li Hao explained: "A military academy is just like a school, but the difference is that the school imparts knowledge, while the military academy imparts knowledge such as the art of marching, formation, and strategy. It is a place for cultivating military talents."

"So that's how it is." Xue Rengui's eyes lit up, and he said, "Your idea is very good."

Li Hao continued: "As for the training base for special forces, hehe, that's amazing. First of all, you need to know what special forces are. Special forces are troops that specialize in performing special tasks. Their physical fitness and skills are much higher than normal soldiers. So Let me tell you, a team of ten special forces can destroy thousands of enemy troops if they can lurk behind enemy lines."

"How is this possible!" Xue Rengui stared and exclaimed.

"Nothing is impossible." Li Hao said solemnly, "If you have seen the training methods of special forces, you will believe what I say. Now, I lack a training instructor, and you are the most suitable one. Candidate, let me ask you one last time, brother Xue, would you like to be part of my family?"

The special forces and military academy that Li Hao mentioned are really too tempting. For a person who is keen on force, what could be more attractive than this. This time, Xue Rengui did not hesitate at all, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I promise you!"

After so many days of hard work, he finally succeeded. Li Hao is so happy, he doesn't want to stay in this poor place for a moment, so he immediately asked Xue Rengui to pack up and go home with him.

Not far from Xiucun, Xue Rengui suddenly remembered something and asked, "Li Hao, you came here specially to find me, right? You are far away in Lantian, Chang'an, why do you know I'm here?"

"Eh..." Li Hao rolled his eyes and said casually, "A few days ago, an old Taoist priest passed by my house. I asked him to do a fortune telling. He said that there was Xue Rengui in Longmenxiu Village, Jiangzhou. He was a talent. I Here we come, hehe."

Xue Rengui could tell right away that he was playing tricks on himself, but since Li Hao didn't want to talk about it, it was inconvenient for him to ask.
