Chapter 390

Those 1 people were originally the elite of the guards.

Coupled with Lin Xuan's training method and Xue Rengui's strict training, it is much stronger than before.

Although the combat effectiveness has not yet been tested, Yuchi Baolin and the others are very confident in the combat effectiveness of these 1 people.

"The more you sweat in training, the less blood you bleed during the war. Next year is likely to be a war. During this time, you have to pay more attention. I don't want you to treat soldiers as bargaining chips for your own achievements. They follow you to the battlefield without asking you Bring them all back, but you must do your best to make them sacrifice as little as possible." Lin Xuan said seriously.

Men are the pillars of the family. Although soldiers die in battle, the court will issue some pensions, but those pensions are of no use at all.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, we understand." Xue Rengui clasped his fists and said.

Lin Xuan nodded, he was quite at ease with Xue Rengui, those words were for Cheng Chumo and others.

"Rengui, are you getting married too?" Lin Xuan asked.

Xue Rengui nodded embarrassingly.

He is the only son in his family, and it was because his family was too poor and his mother needed to take care of him that he dragged it on until now, otherwise Mrs. Xue would have helped him out a long time ago.

Lin Xuan had a headache. He didn't know when Xue Rengui got married in history, but it shouldn't be now, right?

You must know that Xue Rengui's son Xue Na is also a famous general of the generation.

Many people think that Xue Rengui's son is Xue Dingshan. In fact, Xue Dingshan is a character in the novel, and his prototype is Xue Na.

Xue Na was not good at talking and laughing, but he was calm and brave.

During Wu Zetian's period, he guarded the frontier and resisted the Turks, and made many military exploits.

Lin Xuan didn't know if Xue Rengui got married in advance and whether Xue Na could still be born.

But he can't prevent Xue Rengui from getting married, and there is no reason.

"You are now a general of the Tang Dynasty. You can't lose face. Later, I will send you [-] guan to Mrs. Xue, so I can buy some betrothal gifts." Lin Xuan said.

Xue Rengui said quickly: "Master Hou, you have helped me a lot, and I can't ask for any more money from you."

He is very grateful to Lin Xuan, if it weren't for Lin Xuan, he would have to take care of his old mother, and he doesn't know when he would be able to join the army.

Even if you join the army, you have to start as a small soldier. It's not like you are already a general of the sixth rank now, and the starting point is not known how much higher.

Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "Just treat it as if I borrowed from you. There will be a war soon. With your talent, are you afraid that you won't be able to pay it back? I found you, so you can't lose me."

Some of the captured wars will be rewarded to generals and soldiers, and if meritorious service has been made, the court will reward them additionally.

If the grassland war breaks out, as long as Xue Rengui can make contributions, five hundred guan will not be a problem for him at all.

Military generals in the war years are much richer than civil officials. Of course, the premise is that civil officials are not greedy.

"By the way, I have something to tell you." Lin Xuan told Cheng Chumo and others about going to sea, including the distribution of profits.

"Let me just say, those Fusang people were so generous, they gave my family 5000 taels of silver as an apology." After hearing this, Yuchi Baolin suddenly realized.

Lin Xuan cursed inwardly, Fusang people really treat them differently.

The Duke of the State gave 5000 taels, but he only got 3000 taels, obviously looking down on him.

"I mean, each of your four families takes up half of the shares." Lin Xuan said.

Lin Xuan didn't count Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui is only a rank-[-] military general now, and he is not qualified to participate in such matters.

Cheng Chumo said: "No, each of our family will take half, that is, [-]%, Geng Guogong will take half, plus His Majesty and your master, the total will be [-]%. The money is all paid by you, and you are busy. It’s just too little.”

"That's right, Zichu, my family doesn't want it anymore." Qin Huaidao said.

The Weichi family of the Cheng family had the merit of being a dragon. After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, Li Jing made the contribution of destroying the country. Li Shimin didn't care about more wealth.

But the Qin family is different. Not to mention that Qin Qiong did not participate in the change of Xuanwumen, and later because of physical reasons, he did not go to the battlefield again. Too much money is not a good thing for their family.

Of course Lin Xuan knew Qin Huaidao's concerns, waved his hand, and said, "Just as I said, I have told His Majesty about this matter."

Lin Xuan doesn't value money very much. There are only a few people in his family, how much can he spend on big fish and meat every day?

In ancient times, there were regulations on travel and residence. If you don’t pay attention, you will overstep it. If you have money, you have no place to spend it.

It was different for Cheng Yaojin and the others, not to mention the high daily expenses, there were also many heirs, and no one bought some properties, so the spending was almost the same.

Seeing this, Qin Huaidao didn't continue to decline. Anyway, it's just talk now, not sure yet.

After he was going to go back, he told his father about it and let him decide.

"Zi Chu, I don't know what we need to do? If we don't do anything, I'm really sorry." Cheng Chumo said.

"If you want to help, send someone. Find more people who are good at water and have a firm mind. In the spring of next year, I will go to sea with my master to learn sailing skills." Lin Xuan said.

Ancient ships sailed slowly, and it took several months to go back and forth. The vast sea, endless, may feel novel at first, but after a long time, people with unstable minds may go crazy.

Cheng Chumo asked, "How many people are needed?"

"A total of 300 people are needed. I am going to find [-] people from the village. You can figure out the rest." Lin Xuan said.

"The remaining 250 people are taken care of by my Cheng family." Cheng Chumo said.

"I think you are only two hundred and five, what should you do if you hire us?" Yuchi Baolin said angrily.

"Yuchi Baolin, do you want to fight?" Cheng Chumo said angrily.

Having been with Lin Xuan for a long time, they have learned some new words from Lin Xuan's mouth.

Two hundred and five is a curse word, he naturally knows it.

"Hit, hit, whoever is afraid of whom!" Yuchi Baolin rolled up his sleeves and put on a stance.

Lin Xuan quickly said: "Okay, the rest of you will share equally."

He could see that if Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin hadn't quarreled just now, Li Deju and Qin Huaidao would have spoken.

Lin Xuan doesn't know, isn't it just to send someone out, there's nothing to argue about.

In fact, on the one hand, Cheng Chumo and the others wanted to contribute, and on the other hand, they wanted to have some sailors at home.

Merchant ships go to sea, so big profits, how many of them can't be envious?

It's just that they didn't have talents in this field at all before, and those aristocratic families who went to sea to do business deliberately excluded others, so they couldn't participate at all.

With such a good opportunity now, how could they be willing to give up?

When the time comes to learn, they can also form a fleet to do business at sea.

Of course, what they want is to do business, not to start anew and go to sea to hunt for treasure.

After discussing the matter of going to sea, it was already noon, and Lin Xuan asked his servants to deliver lunch.

"Do you want to drink?" Lin Xuan asked after they sat down.

"I won't drink alcohol, I have to go to the barracks in the afternoon." Cheng Chumo said.

The military camp has the rules of the military camp. Although they are noble, if they want to convince the public, they must abide by the rules of the military camp.

After eating, Cheng Chumo and the others took the quilt and cotton that Lin Xuan sent, and left the Lin family.

The cotton was used by Lin Xuan to make them go back to make cotton clothes.

After sending Cheng Chumo and the others away, Lin Xuan got the news that Lin Dongyang was ill.

Lin Xuan hurried to Lin Dongyang's yard.
