Those children knew Jiang Shuan. When they saw him coming, they stopped and bent down to say hello.
"General Jiang."
Gu Fei heard the word general and subconsciously looked at Jiang Shuan.
Jiang Shuan deliberately pretended not to care: "I've worked hard outside these years to earn a position as a general. My grade is not high, just four grades."
He said it easily. In fact, the generals who can be mixed with the fourth grade can be said to have made outstanding military achievements.
In the southern Chu Dynasty, civil servants were mostly promoted by imperial examination or recommendation, and military generals had only one way to join the army. Joining the army meant fighting, and fighting also meant casualties. Not many people could be killed from heavy casualties and make military achievements, even rare. Therefore, the road to promotion of military generals was particularly difficult.
Now, looking at the whole court, you can count the generals who can mix more than four grades with one hand.
Gu Fei said, "it seems that it's not easy for you to be outside these years."
Jiang Shuan is absolutely impossible to show weakness in front of outsiders, especially in front of his son-in-law. He hummed: "it's not easy. I was born to eat this bowl of rice. As soon as I went to the battlefield, it was like the God of war. No one can stop me when I kill God and Buddha!"
Throughout the government and the public, only he can boast of himself.
Gu Fei smiled: "it's lucky for Southern Chu to have such brave soldiers as his father-in-law“
"Don't put a high hat on me. I don't eat this set."
While talking, Jiang Shuan had stopped.
In front of him was a newly built courtyard with low walls. Gu Fei and Jiang Shuan could easily see the situation in the courtyard standing outside.
In the yard, a young man without an arm was drawing water.
Because of the lack of an arm, his action of drawing water was very difficult. It was not easy for him to draw a bucket of water from the well. He was already tired and sweating.
Jiang Shuan whispered, "this young man's name is Gambo. He used to be a soldier under my hand. Unfortunately, he was unlucky. He was relieved of an arm by the enemy on the battlefield. Although he was lucky to save his life in the end, he became a disabled person. He can't find work outside. He can only live in this safe village."
Gu Fei asked, "where's his family?"
"He would have died long ago. If he hadn't lost his family, he wouldn't have chosen to join the army."
These days, anyone who has a way to live at home will not join the army. He is bitter, tired and has no money, and he has to face the danger of losing his life all the time.
Jiang Shuan said: "there are many people like ganbo in Ping'an Village. They are disabled veterans who have retired from the battlefield. Some are lucky and can go back to their hometown to enjoy their life. If they are unlucky, they can only stay in Ping'an Village."
Gu Fei asked, "what do you want me to do?"
"Aren't you short of people to work? Although these disabled veterans lack arms and legs and can't do too laborious work, they can do less laborious work such as making dental powder, and they are very loyal. Even if they die, they won't reveal the formula of dental powder. "
Gu Fei said, "it's just a formula of tooth powder, which won't involve life. These soldiers are well deserved heroes who live and die to protect the country, but I'll do my best where I can help."
In fact, Jiang Shuan doesn't like Gu Fei very much, mainly because he has too many thoughts and the city government is too deep. He is afraid that his daughter will suffer if he follows Gu Fei.
But now it seems that Gu Fei has some advantages.
Weng's son-in-law and his son-in-law discussed it properly.
In the courtyard, the one armed guy who had just managed to get a bucket of well water noticed the two people standing outside the courtyard wall. He quickly called out: "general Jiang, why are you free to come here today? Please come in and sit down! "
He hurried to open the door and welcomed Jiang Shuan and Gu Fei into the house.
The courtyard was built by the village. Because only Gambo lived, there was only one living room and a stove house. The furniture in the house was so poor that there were not even tables and chairs for guests to sit down.
Gambo was embarrassed, blushed and said, "I'll go out and borrow two stools. You two wait, I'll be back soon..."
Jiang Shuan stopped him: "no, we're here to tell you something. We'll leave after that."
"What can I do for you, general?"
Even though he has been discharged from the army due to injury, Gambo still maintains a high degree of obedience to the general. Jiang Shuan told him not to go, so he stood still and quietly obeyed the next command.
Jiang Shuan pointed to Gu Fei around him and said, "this is my son-in-law. He is Gu Fei. He is a scholar. He has done some small business at home. He needs someone to help make goods recently. Would you like to take this job?"
Ganbo looked bitter: "I only have one arm now. It's difficult to take care of myself. Where can I help others?"
"Since I introduce this job to you, it shows that you can certainly do it. Now just answer me, go or not?"
Gambo gritted his teeth: "I'll go!"
Anyway, he's already like this. How bad can he be? If he can't do it, he can go back to Ping'an Village.
Jiang Shuan smiled with satisfaction: "yes, this is the soldier under my hand. You should dare to think and do at any time. You must not give up before you try. That's the behavior of a coward!"
Gambo straightened his back: "yes!"
Jiang Shuan looks at Gu Fei.
Gu Fei understood and began to tell Gambo about the general process of making dental powder. Finally, he said: "dental powder is a special thing. Before you can fully master this craft, you must work in the health hall. Someone will be specially responsible for guiding you at that time. You can ask them if you don't understand anything at that time. When you can master this skill, you can get medicinal materials from the health hall and go home to do it. After that, you can send the tooth powder to the health hall. Then we will pay you according to the amount of tooth powder you make, which is almost a penny for one or two tooth powder. "
Gambo said no problem.
"Then pack up your things and go to the health hall together after we get all the people together."
Gambo said yes.
Then Gu Fei and Jiang Shuan visited five families, all disabled veterans who had retired from the battlefield.
When Gu Fei and Jiang Shuan returned to the health hall with such a group of disabled veterans, they startled the people in the health hall.
Jiang Weiwei asked, "are these people?"
Gu Fei explained, "these are my newly recruited workers who are specially responsible for making dental powder."
Jiang Weiwei had also received injured soldiers in surgery before, so when she saw these disabled veterans, she soon had a guess in her heart, but in order to confirm the guess, she asked: "where did these people come from?"
