The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 1006
[Chapter 1006: Recruit a hundred people and make you a centurion]
.” Zhao Ziping was silent and didn’t say a word.
Fang Xiu looked at him, with a smile on his face, and said leisurely: “It’s okay if you don’t say anything. I will send you to the front line as a pawn to fight against the pirates.”
After the words fell, it was obvious that he could see Zhao Ziping was seen trembling.
He was just a dude. He had never seen him kill a chicken, let alone fight with pirates. He couldn’t bear the news.
“Still not talking?” Fang Xiu looked at him, raised his brows, and smiled.
Zhao Ziping took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down his emotions, and said, “I have nothing to say to you. I am a scholar. How can I be compared with a martial artist like you.”
“Hahaha!” Fang Xiu heard. At these words, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He looked at Zhao Ziping and asked, “Have you ever thought about why your uncle is so afraid of me?”
“So what if you have, so what if you haven’t. The young master is a student of An Guogong, what can you do to me?” Zhao Ziping said word by word with a serious look on his face.
I don’t know, but I really thought he was a student of An Guogong.
When Fang Xiu heard this, his expression became a little strange. He suppressed laughter, looked at him, and asked: “Do you know what Duke An Guo looks like? Do you call yourself a student of Duke An Guo?”
Zhao Ziping Then I remembered that the person in front of me was from Kyoto Prefecture, and it was very likely that he knew Duke An. In that case, what he said would become a joke to him.
After hesitating for a while, he decided to tell the truth: “I am going to Beijing to become a student of the Academy of Arts and Sciences. An Guogong is the dean of the Academy of Arts and Sciences. Even if I am not a student of An Guogong now, I will definitely become a student of An Guogong in the future.” .”
Fang
Xiu didn’t know how to answer for a moment, so he waved his hand and said: “I will tell you the truth, I am the special envoy of Duke An, and I am here to deal with the military camp.
Now that we have encountered pirates again, I cannot stand by and watch. Just now, I and your uncle were discussing how to exterminate pirates and how to recruit soldiers. I wonder if you heard me?”
“So what if you heard me ?
, so what if you didn’t hear it, I’m a scholar,” Zhao Ziping said firmly.
It’s as if Fang Xiu can’t do anything about him even if he insists that he is a scholar.
In fact, this is indeed the case. In this era, scholars do have many privileges, including not being drafted, not performing corvee and military service.
But the premise is that he is a real scholar, at least a scholar. Obviously Zhao Ziping is not in this category.
So, Fang Xiu said: “To be honest, if you didn’t keep mentioning that you are a scholar, I really wouldn’t have thought of letting you become a martial artist, but now I
think you are quite suitable to be a soldier.”
” Am I suitable to be a soldier? You, you, you are seeking revenge!” Zhao Ziping pointed at Fang Xiu and said tremblingly.
Fang Xiu ignored him, looked at him, and said: “I have made a decision. In this Jinzhou city, the recruitment of soldiers will start from you. I will tell you first how I recruit. .
It’s very simple. You come here alone, just like a pawn, starting from scratch. When you reach the centurion, I will let you go back and let you be your scholar. If you can’t become a centurion, Just stay at the Jinzhou Guard Station and stay well. Fighting with pirates and bandits during normal times can be regarded as sharing your uncle’s worries.
Of course, if you can bring five people over, I will let you go .
If you can bring over twenty people, I will make you a captain of ten. If you can bring over a hundred people, I will make you a captain of centurions. If you can bring over a thousand people, I will make you a captain of centurions.
If you can bring over 1,500 people, I’ll make you a captain. If you can bring over 3,000 people, I’ll make you a lieutenant.
How
about that?”
“” Zhao Ziping heard this. But he was completely stunned.
This was the first time he heard of such recruitment of soldiers.
If it is true as he said, if he calls the soldiers in the palace, he might be able to gather a hundred people, and he can become a centurion.
He is still very self-aware and knows in his heart what he is.
How can I be a centurion like myself?
It would be nice to be a good pawn, bah!
I am a scholar, how can I be Qiu Ba!
But this hateful guy said again that he would only let him go if he became a centurion.
For a moment, Zhao Ziping was entangled.
On the one hand, he didn’t want to be Qiu Ba, but on the other hand, he was forced by the situation and didn’t know what to do.
When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he didn’t press too hard. He just said: “I will give you three days. If you can bring me a hundred qualified soldiers within three days, I will Promote you to be a centurion.
If you want to go back to study, then go back to study. If you don’t want to study, just stay here and be a good centurion. I believe that during this time, I can train you into a real centurion. Centurion”
said this with a smile on his face.
When Zhao Ziping saw this smile, he trembled subconsciously.
He thought: No matter what, I will not let you succeed! I just want to find a hundred people and then leave, instead of being a Qiu Ba! I am a scholar!
He thought so in his heart, but he didn’t dare to say it out loud. The reason was very simple. He was afraid that Fang Xiu would change his attention again, so he just responded, nodded and said: “Okay, it’s a deal!”
With that said, he turned and left.
There are only three days, and every minute and every second is precious. The total number of servants in his house will definitely be less than a hundred, so he still needs to buy servants from other aristocratic families. If he couldn’t buy a boy, he would have to recruit soldiers himself.
If someone really wanted to be a soldier, he would definitely not bother following him. Therefore, he definitely needed to prepare some money and promise heavy profits.
Hey,
I don’t know how much money I’m going to spend this time.
Zhao Ziping thought of this and glanced at Fang Xiu hatefully, but said nothing and ran away quickly.
When Xiu’er saw this scene, she was naturally very puzzled and asked curiously: “Master, why do you have to let this dude be a soldier?”
Fang Xiu glanced at Xiu’er, with a smile on his face, and said lightly : “Actually, there is no special reason, I just find it interesting. If there is really a reason, then it is who asked him to talk about being a scholar all day long in Jinzhou Fucheng.
He kept talking like this all day long, in Jinzhou Fucheng People feel that the dandy is proud of being a scholar and is ashamed of being a martial artist. Wouldn’t it be more difficult for this young master to recruit soldiers? This can be regarded as his punishment.”
