Wei and Jin Cooks

Chapter 908: public opinion

  Although Zhao Hanzhang didn't say anything, the relationship between her and Liu Kun cooled down rapidly, and the honeymoon period between the two of them just started and ended.

   Zhao Hanzhang was still smiling when facing Liu Kun, but he acted much stronger. After Liu Kun sent a letter and made an appointment with Tuoba Yilu, she immediately started recruiting.

   What Zhao Hanzhang and Liu Kun didn't expect was that the recruitment notice was posted, and before the gongs and drums were beat to announce it to the world, the young and middle-aged people in Jinyang rushed to the military camp to apply.

   Not only men, but also women between the ages of 16 and 30 came here, all of whom wanted to serve as soldiers.

  Zhao Hanzhang picked up two children from the team and put them in front of the wheel to make gestures. One was only higher than the wheel, and the other was only a finger short of the wheel.

  She reached out to wipe the dirty face of the shortest child again, and was speechless for a while, "You are still young, at least you have to be as tall as my ears to join the army."

   After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

  The two children immediately reached out their hands and grabbed her by the corners of her clothes, begging eagerly: "Please accept us, your envoy. Although we are young, we fight very hard and can already hold knives."

  The oldest child was afraid that Zhao Hanzhang would not believe him, so he wanted to reach out and grab Qinwei's knife.

  The personal guard's eyes froze, and he pressed his hand on the handle of the knife without moving.

  Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand at him, and smiled with the child: "It's not a matter of strength, it's because you are too young and want to serve the country, and you will grow up in a few years."

  The child said without even thinking about it: "I don't want to serve the country, I just want to follow the envoy, and I want to repay, and I also repay the envoy."

  He looked up at Zhao Hanzhang eagerly, and said: "Master, please accept me, I want to live, and my brother also wants to live."

  When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he lowered his head to look at the short child again, and she also looked at her with round eyes, full of expectations.

  Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Didn't Governor Liu set up an asylum to take you in?"

  The two children lowered their eyes at the same time and remained silent. The older child took a step back and grabbed the younger one to leave, but he was not willing to leave.

  When Zhao Hanzhang saw it, his heart softened, and he turned around and said, "Follow me."

  As soon as the two children heard it, their eyes lit up and they immediately followed.

  The personal guards did not stop them, but they were not allowed to get too close to Zhao Hanzhang.

  Zhao Hanzhang led them into the barracks, and said to the female soldier Zhao Jiaya who followed: "Take them down to freshen up, and find them two sets of clothes."

  Zhao Hanzhang pointed to the shorter child and said, "Find her a girl's clothes."

  The two children knew that their disguise had been seen through as soon as they heard it. They lowered their heads in embarrassment, and followed the female soldier honestly to wash and change clothes.

  Zhao Jiaya is a sixteen-year-old girl. She was rescued by Zhao Hanzhang four years ago. At that time, she entered the Yushan Hall and the Academy, studying and practicing martial arts at the same time, and was finally selected for special training.

   This year she turned 16 and came to the army to be Zhao Hanzhang's personal guard. Her current surname and first name were taken after she was rescued.

  She is very familiar with the state of the two children, wasn't she the same four years ago?

  She turned her head and asked the two of them, "How old are you?"

  The boy said: "I am eleven years old, my brother and my sister are nine years old."

  Zhao Jiaya found a set of clothes for each of them, and said: "When you return to Luoyang, you can go to school."

   The little boy felt uneasy and asked, "Are we going to leave the envoy and ask for a living?"

"Don't worry, children in Yushantang, unless the army starves to death, otherwise Yushantang will not run out of food. You are still young, and you can't do much with the envoy. You have to learn your skills and learn well I will repay the envoy later."

  Zhao Jiaya said: "I am a child from Yushantang. I was as old as you when I first entered. In four years, I will be able to serve by your side."

  The little boy's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Do you have any money?"

   "Of course, I call it military pay! It's a hanging money every month."

  The two children were amazed, and the little girl who had been silent all this time didn't hold back and asked, "Will my brother and I be separated?"

   "If you don't want to be separated, you won't be separated," Zhao Jiaya said: "But when you arrive at Yushantang, you have to separate the places where you sleep at night. Boys live with boys, and girls live with girls. You can't go beyond."

   "Most of them go to class together during the day, eat in the same place, and work in the same place."

  The little boy asked anxiously: "What kind of work do you want to do? Farming? Or digging canals and building city walls?"

   "Planting the land," Zhao Jiaya said speechlessly, "How old are you, how can you be used for digging canals and building city walls?"

"With your stature, you can do light work such as planting rice seedlings, sowing seeds, weeding, or harvesting. Adults can do heavy work. If you are talented, you can also learn carpentry and weaving. If you can learn, then When assigning jobs, it will be easier." She said: "I just don't have talent, and in the end I was the best at swordsmanship, so I was selected to train and serve as a soldier in the army."

   Both children gave a wow and looked at her in amazement.

Zhao Jiaya raised her chin proudly, and seeing that they put down their guard slightly, she asked casually: "What will you all do? Maybe I can discover your talents, and I will introduce you to some teachers in advance, from Yushantang and the school. I know everyone well, and several of my classmates are helping out in the school at the same time and studying at the same time, just to teach newcomers like you who don't know anything how to read."

  The boy immediately said: "I am strong and can fight. I think I can also be a bodyguard."

  As for the personal guards, they are the confidantes around the governor, and he may be a general in the future.

  The little girl also looked at Zhao Jiaya with sparkling eyes, wishing to be like her.

  Zhao Jiaya smiled and asked, "Did you often fight before?"

Half an hour later, Zhao Jiaya went to see Zhao Hanzhang and reported to her: "They are a family of eight who moved here. They heard of Liu Cishi's reputation. After the land at home was encircled by the Huns as a pasture, the whole family came to vote. .”

"But in only three years, their grandfather, father, and brother all died in the battle of defending the city. This time the Huns besieged the city again. One of their mothers died of starvation, and the other died of fighting for food when they went out to beg for food. Death," Zhao Jiaya paused and said, "They are cousins, there are traffickers in the city who specifically target girls under the age of fourteen in the city, and those who are beautiful and beautiful are taken away and trafficked elsewhere."

   "The price is no more than five buckets of rice. If the price is low, two buns will replace the person. However, girls are stolen frequently in the city because of this, and the yamen has no effective measures to stop it."

  Zhao Hanzhang tensed his face and asked, "Does Jinyang Ling eat dry food?"

  Zhao Jiaya didn't speak, and Zhao Hanzhang remembered that Jinyang Ling really had nothing to eat, and she was still locked up in her barracks.

  Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Is Xu Run's illness cured?"

   "The high fever has subsided."

"Then send him away early tomorrow morning, and send him directly back to Luoyang, so that people will keep an eye on him. As long as he doesn't leave Luoyang, he will follow the law. If he dares to escape privately, he will be killed without mercy; if he commits a crime, he will be dealt with according to the law. !"

"yes."

  Today is too sleepy, so there is only one update, I am going to sleep
