Chapter 1484 Rewarding the Army from Rich Businessmen

In the early morning, the fog filled the air, and the majestic and whistling fog crossed the mountains, crossed the sea and spread to the sky, like a very frivolous boy, while the rising sun on the horizon looked like a frightened girl, wrapped in the fog and molested, her pretty face flushed Hidden under the horizon, shyly and angrily waved a jade hand in the morning light, passed through the dense fog, and slapped the frivolous foggy boy resoundingly.

Under the morning sun and fog is Ying Tian.

Yingtian Giant City straddles the natural barrier of the Yangtze River in the north, leans on Zhongshan Longpan in the east, leans on the stone and tiger in the west, and looks south to the south of the Yangtze River.

The city wall is more than 100 meters high, like a mountain, and should be divided into inner city and outer city. There is an urn city behind each gate in the inner city, and each gate has a thousand-jin gate. Even if the enemy breaks into the first city gate by chance, they will be blocked by the thousand-jin gate set down by the urn city and become a turtle in the urn. Due to the situation of the mountain, the outer city was built with 18 gates. The circumference is nearly a hundred miles, and the edge cannot be seen at a glance.

Such a colossal monster, it looks like a savage behemoth that stands up to the sky and swallows the mountains and seas!

Anyone who sees this majestic giant city can't help but feel a sense of admiration and awe in their hearts. This city dares not fight!

If you look down from the top, you will find that there are several small beasts guarding this wild monster. These small beasts are guarding small towns around the giant city of Yingtian. The small town guarding the southwest is named: Jiangning Town .

After the first light of dawn came out, Ying Tian, a savage giant, opened its mouth as if it were alive, swallowing in and out groups of people, chariots and horses. Unceasingly, the entire Yingtian City became angry.

"Sharpen knives, sharpen scissors, sharpen kitchen knives, the little old man has been sharpening knives for 50 years, and everyone agrees after using them."

"Selling bean curds, hot bean curds, there are some sweet ones, and some spicy ones."

"Fried Qin Hui, fried Qin Hui."

"Pot stickers, pot stickers, pork pot stickers, all guests are blessed. My second uncle's farm cattle accidentally hit the wall when they came home from plowing yesterday. I have no choice but to report to the government for slaughter. There is no limit to the supply of beef pot stickers today. "

The guarded small towns around the giant city of Yingtian also came alive, the gates of the city were opened, and the sound and taste of life came out from the city.

Although news of Japanese pirates came from time to time, especially the Japanese pirates from Shangyu who made trouble in Wuhu in the southwest for a while, it had no effect on Jiangning Town.

Why?!

In addition to the fact that Jiangning is backed by Yingtian City, which is the gate of Yingtian, and is covered by Yingtian, the military camp camped outside the city next to the city wall is also the confidence for the people of Jiangning to live and work in peace and contentment, and the city is still prosperous and lively.

There are more than 1,000 soldiers in this barracks close to the city wall of Jiangning. Jiang Ningdu commanded Zhu Xiang and Jiang Sheng. The commanding Zhu Xiang is a family of generals. His ancestors once fought with Emperor Hongwu. He once led an army to exterminate a group of water bandits and killed two bandits with his own hands. Commander Jiang Sheng was born in martial arts, he is skilled in bow and horse, and he is good at marksmanship, which is mostly praised by the world.

Military management close at hand, and a powerful coach, this is the confidence for Jiang Ning to live and work in peace and contentment.

In the early morning, after the gates of Jiangning Town were opened, groups of people and carriages came and went in and out.

Amidst the flow of people, a team led by a wealthy businessman came out from the city towards the city gate. The leading wealthy businessman was like a nouveau riche, wearing brand-new silk brocade clothes, a mink fur coat, a jade pendant around his waist, and a belt on his hand. He bought six gold rings, two jade ring fingers, and more than 30 servants pushed and pulled eight carts behind the rich merchant. The carts were loaded with vegetables, fruits, wine and meat, and two of them were pulling wine jars. Several wine jars were open, exuding a strong aroma of wine. Behind the last carriage there were more than 20 servants jumping with burdens in their hands, and they followed behind bulging.

"Hehe, Mr. Jun has worked hard. Thanks to Mr. Jun guarding the gate day and night, we have a peaceful life. A little care is not enough to respect."

The wealthy businessman was familiar with himself. He smiled and walked towards the city gate guards, and stuffed a silver worth five taels into the hands of the headed city gate school principal. Then he waved his hand to the servants behind him and ordered loudly, " Er Zhuzi, San Daozi, you two, come here, and give the food and drink to Jun Ye, Wang Er, Liu Qiang, you two, come here with two jars of good wine, it's freezing cold, to warm up Jun Ye who is the gatekeeper. "

"Hi..." Er Zhuzi let out a hi, and walked out with the food box in hand. Just as he opened his mouth, he was bumped by a servant on the side and stared at him without a trace. Er Zhuzi suddenly realized that he had slipped his tongue, and quickly changed his words, " Yes, here we come."

The small school at the city gate focused on the silver in his hand, and the gatekeepers focused on the food boxes and wine jars. This episode of Er Zhuzi's slip of the tongue did not attract their attention.

"Ahem, this is not good."

Chengmen Xiaoxiao couldn't help swallowing, clutching the money tightly in his hand, and falsely declined.

"Mr. Jun, this is just a small thought on our part. The reason why we can make a lot of money and live a good life later is not because you shielded us from the wind and rain in the front. It's just a little thought. Please also ask the military master Wan Yu to decline. It's very cold, and you still have to stick to your posts. It's really hard work. Drinking a glass of wine can warm your body a little bit, but in fact, it's not just you, we also have to go to the front barracks to reward the troops.

The rich businessman said with a smile, and insisted on giving money, food and wine to Chengmen Xiaoxiao and others to show his gratitude.

"Hehe, since this is the case, then we should be respectful rather than obedient. Thank you for your kindness." Chengmen Xiaoxiao withdrew his hand holding the money. He didn't mean to refuse. The five taels of silver was his military salary for half a year. , and the food and wine exuding a strong aroma made him and the soldiers under his command salivate even more, and he was not willing to push it out.

"Thank you for your kindness." The soldiers guarding the gate couldn't wait to take the food and drinks, smiling like flowers.

"Hehe, military lord, we intend to go to the front barracks to reward the army. Thank you military lords for protecting us from the Japanese pirates. It's just that we are not familiar with the military camp. It may take a lot of time to enter the barracks to reward the army. In order to avoid unnecessary Trouble, military master, can you send someone to follow us and call down the camp gate, lest we waste time at the camp gate, this wine and food will not taste good when it is cold, the taste must be reduced by at least half."

The rich businessman smiled and said to the gatekeeper school, asking the gatekeeper school to send someone to accompany them to reward the army.

"Hehe, it's a trivial matter, a trivial matter." The gatekeeper Xiaoxiao responded indifferently, and immediately turned to look at a gatekeeper soldier, and waved to him, "Zhang Suo, isn't your brother-in-law guarding the gate of the camp? You just go with them. Don't worry, I will leave you a portion of the food and drink, and you will be indispensable."

"Okay." The gatekeeper Zhang Suo happily agreed.

Only after receiving money, food and drinks from others, the trivial matter of calling someone's door is nothing.
