In fact, it was pretty much what Zhao Taoyin had expected.
"One tael of silver isn't too expensive. The Yuan family should raise the price," Zhao Taoyin smiled. "Just as the escort officer returned, the Yuan family's steward arrived. They wanted to order eight pairs this time. Or maybe I talked too much and pushed them down to ten pairs."
"A pair of 10,000 taels, and the profit of a pair is three taels, so our profit alone is 100 taels!"
The brother and sister looked like two rich kids, their teeth showing and their eyes invisible when they laughed.
"Come on, stop laughing. If someone sees us, they'll think there's something wrong with us."
Zhao Sanzhu: "..." It was you who was smiling so ferociously.
When Old Lady Zhao heard the news, she sighed, "Life at home is getting better and better. Why is our Erzhuzi so stubborn that he insisted on joining the army? I haven't heard from him since then. I can't eat or sleep these days. Maybe I owed him in my past life? If anything happens to him, how will I live? Woo woo woo..."
"Mom, don't cry. I've asked someone and learned that the war in Linzhou Prefecture has subsided. I'm afraid that even if my second brother joined the army, he'll be dismissed soon..."
Zhao Taoyin comforted him.
"real?"
"Oh, really, I swear by the lamp."
Only then did Old Mrs. Zhao feel a little better.
In fact, Zhao Taoqin had no idea about the specific situation in Linzhou Prefecture, and he just guessed based on the original plot.
And what was Zhao Erzhu's situation at that time?
In a nutshell, I'm just a soldier.
He hurried to Gu County that day. There was indeed a conscription. He waited in line for a long time before he was registered, and then he was bullied in the new recruit camp.
Yes, they were bullied, because those who joined the army here were all locals, in groups of three or four, either from the same hometown or related to each other.
Once people get together, they will bully those who are alone, and Zhao Erzhu is the one who is alone. After all, in this day and age, which stupid son of a local family would run so far just to join the army.
He was either ordered around or forced to fetch water for foot washing. At the beginning, Zhao Erzhu felt that this was a test of life for him, and he just had to hold on.
His purpose was to meet the general, of whom he was a loyal fan.
As he was bullied and humiliated day by day, Zhao Erzhu's fan filter was finally shattered. Whoever wants to live this miserable life can do whatever he wants, but if he runs away, he will be a deserter and his family will blame him.
He couldn't not take responsibility, so he helped Zhao Erzhu, who was more adaptable and had eaten the spiritual fruit. His senses and strength were very powerful.
Annoyed, he started fighting with a small team of more than 20 people.
Everyone in the recruit camp came to watch the fun, to see if the new recruit would be beaten to death.
As a result, Zhao Erzhu defeated more than 20 people by himself, became famous in one battle, and was successfully noticed by his superior, the captain of a thousand men.
He thought this was a talented person and pushed the deputy general forward.
The deputy general's surname was Meng. He looked at the new recruit in front of him, who was beaten black and blue but still able to stand upright, and asked, "What do you do at home?"
"Farmers."
"Does farming take so much effort?"
"Strength is innate."
"Come here, let me try," the deputy general waved his hand. It was obvious that he usually boasted of his great strength and wanted to test Zhao Erzhu's strength.
Zhao Erzhu walked over and stretched out his hand.
"Don't hold back."
"Yes, Lieutenant General."
After saying that, Zhao Erzhu exerted his strength suddenly and broke the deputy general's hand. It seemed normal, but there was a gasp in the tent.
