Chapter 58
Gao Shixin smiled and said, "Aunt San, don't worry. I went to the Jinyiwei just to serve. In order to earn more money, I will never do anything that hurts the world. Aunt San, you have helped us a lot in our family before. I went to the Jinyiwei. It would be more convenient for you to find me if you have any things in the Jinyiwei. After all, it's easy to talk to someone in the Jinyiwei."
Aunt San smiled and said, "Young man is a good person, Aunt San knows."
At one minute in the afternoon, it was equivalent to about 3:30, and the food was ready. Like the poor family back then, Gao Shixin's family also had two meals a day, one breakfast, and one meal was a regular meal. The meal time was between three and four o'clock in the afternoon.
Gao's mother made three tables of meals, two tables were placed in the yard, and a table was placed in the inner hall. A group of brothers brought back by Gao Shixin sat outside at a table, but Gao Shixin invited Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji to the inner hall, and sat at a table with his mother, Aunt San, and some neighbors with good relationships also sat in the inner hall.
In addition to the group of poor men brought back by Gao Shixin at the two tables outside, there are also neighbors and villagers who came to congratulate today.
The aroma of food came out of the kitchen, and plates of steaming dumplings, braised pork, stewed chicken soup, braised fish were served on the table. Except for Gao Shixin and Huang Degong, the rest of the men were poor brothers, and they didn't know how long it had been since they had eaten such good things. The neighbors who came here to celebrate the free meal were also poor military households. I'm afraid that it would be rare to have such a sumptuous meal once in a few years. Everyone was greedy and full of oil.
After drinking and eating, Gao Shixin pulled Zhou Yuji to stand up, walked outside, and said to the five great men he recruited, "Five brothers, you accompany Gao all the way back from Jinzhou. You are all Liaodong men. If you don't dislike it, after you go back, you will tell your family that you will work in Gao in the future. The wages will not be treated unfairly! If there are only single-parent elderly people in the family, you can bring the elderly to the capital, and Gao will arrange accommodation."
After saying that, Gao Shixin turned around and asked Huang Degong to get the silver, and gave Zhou Yuji and the five great men one by five taels of silver as the travel expenses for their trip home. The rest of the wages had been settled on the road, and every day, Gao Shixin would give them half a tael of silver beans to each of them as wages. Because it was for food and accommodation, after they arrived in Tongzhou, these people exchanged five taels of silver from the eight taels of silver that had been earned in the past half month for one piece of silver ingots, and exchanged six silver beans for three taels of silver.
The five great men took over the money and thanked him very much, saying goodbye to Gao Shixin.
"I didn't expect that this little boss was a hero who killed Jiannu!" One of the big men said after walking out of the Gao family's yard.
"This little boss is righteous and generous. I think I will work with him in the future!" another person said.
"Yes! After we went back, we told our family and we would have sex with Dong Gao's family!"
"I only have my mother in my family, no brothers and sisters. Since the boss has said that I can bring the old man with me in the future, then I will bring my mother to the capital after I go back."
"I, Kong, sold my life to the boss for such a good boss!" said a rough man, "Anyway, there is no one in my family, and my parents have been killed by Jiannu! I won't go home! I'll go find the little boss!"
After saying that, the big man turned around and walked back to the Gao family yard, walked to the door, and knelt on the ground with a thud: "Please take me in with the young master! My Kong family has long been gone, and I will not go back to Liaodong, so I will follow the young master from now on!"
"Geng Lao Er, get up quickly!" Gao Shixin quickly helped the big man up. He felt something was wrong, so he asked again, "No, your name is Geng Lao Er, why is your surname Kong?"
"Young Master, please forgive me. Kong was originally a disciple of Tieling. Because Jiannu captured Tieling, the family was killed by Jiannu, and only Kong was left. Kong fled to Jinzhou and wanted to join the army to avenge his family, but before he joined the army, he met you, the young master. I heard that the wages were quite high, so Kong wanted to make some money for wine. But at that time, I didn't know who the young master was, so I dared not use his real name, so I used the surname of a friend. "The black-faced man said.
When he heard that this person was a Tieling Mine Master, his surname was Kong, and his pseudonym was Geng, and his surname was Geng. The surname Geng was the friend of this black-faced man. Gao Shixin immediately remembered the third Mine Master in Liaodong. Looking at this person, he was actually not very old and only seventeen years old, and he was overjoyed. He asked: "This hero, are you willing to call your brother over here? Come to my army!"
"He probably can't come here," said the black-faced man. "I'm lucky to escape from Tieling. Caomin, but my brother was kidnapped by Jiannu. I don't know how to live or die. He may have died. Even if he is alive, he may be regarded as a slave by Jiannu."
After hearing the words of the black-faced man, Gao Shi was basically sure that his other good brother of the black-faced man was indeed kidnapped by the Later Jin Dynasty, but later he fled out with a group of captured Liao people and went to Pi Island to join Mao Wenlong.
"Okay, then you can follow me in the future and do it well and you won't treat you badly! By the way, what is your real name?"
"When I go back to my young master's house, the grass-roots name is Kong Youde."
He picked up another treasure! Gao Shixin was overjoyed and stepped forward to give Kong Youde a bear hug, without complaining that he was sweating: "Kong Youde, from now on, you will be my good brother! I am one year older than you, so you can call me elder brother from now on!"
Then, Gao Shixin introduced Kong Youde to Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji: "Two brothers, this hero's real name is Kong Youde. We will be brothers in the future!"
In fact, Kong Youde did not want to surrender to the Later Jin Dynasty from the beginning. Kong Youde's parents were both killed by the Later Jin Dynasty, and had a deep blood hatred with the Later Jin Dynasty. How could he voluntarily become a traitor? In fact, he was also forced by the group of civil servants and gentry. Since Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong without permission, the root of disaster was left. After Mao Wenlong's death, the three mine disciples in Liaodong became ownerless ghosts. When he was in Dengzhou, a very hungry soldier stole a chicken from Wang Xiangchun's servant and was caught. The evil servant refused to give up and wanted the soldier to go through the arrows and travel to the camp.
After the soldier was beaten with eighty military sticks, he started a half-day tour of the barracks with arrows in his ears, and he also shouted: "I am a chicken thief, I am a chicken thief."
This is a double torture between body and mind, and it is a great humiliation. It is second only to the heavy punishment of beheading in the army. If he could not stand the eighty-year-old military stick, he would probably have been beaten to death at that time.
The soldier could not bear the humiliation and sneaked into the evil servant's house that night and killed the evil servant.
This was a bloody crime caused by a chicken. Kong Youde rebelled because of this and later defected to the Later Jin Dynasty.
But in this time and space, a bloody crime caused by a chicken is impossible. Will Kong Youde follow Gao Shixin make the soldiers unable to eat enough or wear warm? So in this time and space, Kong Youde cannot be a traitor.
But Geng Zhongming would go to join Mao Wenlong, what should I do? Gao Shixin decided that he would need to suppress Yuandudu in the future and not let this guy become a chief official in the border area. Liaodong could only be handed over to Xiong Tingbi, carrying Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua to stabilize the situation. As for Yuandudu, a guy who only knows how to brag about, it is more suitable for him to be a county magistrate, and the prefect is too arrogant.
After receiving Kong Youde, Gao Shixin said to Zhou Yuji again: "Little brother, go back and bring your mother to the capital. I will enter the capital in a few days. After entering the capital, buy a bigger house. Your mother can live with you when she comes. At that time, I will find a wife for you so that your mother and the elderly will be happy."
Zhou Yuji quickly knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you for your great kindness! I, Zhou, will follow the boss in the future!"
The Gao family's house was not big. The most suitable ones used to be, was his parents. He lived with Zhang Yong and four people, two rooms, one room for his parents, and one room for him and two brothers. Later, when his father passed away, only Gao's mother was left alone, and he and Zhang Yong. Now that Zhang Yong has entered the palace, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji and Kong Youde come, so there can only be four people crowding a room.
"Three brothers, the house is crowded, let's squeeze in. After a few days, I will buy a bigger house. Each of my brothers has a room." Gao Shixin said.
Zhou Yuji and Kong Youdedao: "After following my elder brother, we are willing to sleep in the open to the joints."
