Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 34 Bribery
The school lieutenant was chattering endlessly, but he didn't move his feet. Wang Wenzuo held back his temper and waited patiently, but Shen Faseng behind him couldn't help it, and said directly: "Shangguan, I have military affairs, please hurry up, don't delay !"

"Oh, oh, I can't wait!" The school lieutenant glanced at Shen Faseng, and the smile on his face disappeared: "It's just that all the military weapons are stored in this warehouse. It can't be more important. You can't be contemptuous. Please wait a moment, let me go to investigate first!" After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Wang Wenzuo knew it was going to be bad, so he quickly grabbed the captain, and laughed in a low voice: "My little brother is ignorant, and his words have offended Captain Zhang, please Haihan!" Something was stuffed in the past: "The military situation is urgent, please forgive me, Captain Zhang!"

The school lieutenant looked down, and it turned out that what Wang Wenzuo stuffed over was a silver Buddha statue, which was also seven or eight times heavy. He was overjoyed: "It's easy to say, easy to say, come here, and open the door for Wang Xiaowei!"

Wang Wenzuo had a few perfunctory words with the school captain, and then led Shen Faseng and others into the gate of the arsenal.Shen Faseng cursed in a low voice: "Shameless villain!"

"Forget it, it's important!"

"It's all because of my talkativeness that caused trouble, and cost you money, third brother!"

"I can't blame you!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "He was asking for money for stopping there and not moving. As long as he can get things done, it's nothing!"

While talking, the two had already entered the arsenal, and the attendant delivered the booklet. Shen Faseng looked at it, and suddenly took a deep breath: "I didn't expect that there are so many armored battles here!"

"Anyway, it's a country's savings of nearly a hundred years. How can it be easy to reconcile?" Wang Wenzuo was very calm: "Do you know? When General Su broke Baekje, he collected and stored books. There were 37 counties, 76 cities, and 50 people. households; and at the time of Sui Ping and Nanchen, there were only 200 households with a population of [-] million! How can I underestimate it?"

Shen Faseng couldn't help being speechless when he heard the words. His family was originally a common surname in the south. He was moved to Shandong when the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen. He had also heard many stories about the Southern Dynasty from his elders, and he heard that the registered permanent residence of Baekje is half that of his home country. In ancient times, there was not much difference in the level of productivity in agricultural society, and the number of households and national power were basically synonymous. Although Baekje was not a big country with the same size as the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it must not be regarded as an ordinary small country.

Shen Faseng casually took a crossbow from the shelf, and while checking whether the bowstring and tooth mechanism were in good condition, he asked, "Third brother, when General Su returned to China, why didn't he transport all these armored weapons?" How about going back to Datang?"

"Did you forget? When the general returned to China, he transported back more than ten thousand heroes of the royal family of Baekje, and all the treasuries over the years were also removed. Where is there room for these belongings on the ship!" Wang Wenzuo laughed. : "Fortunately, these are left behind, otherwise we would be in trouble now!"

"That's right, by the way, you plan to take those first battles!"

"That's all!" Wang Wenzuo had finished looking through the register, and scribbled on a piece of paper for a while, then handed it to the clerk who was following behind him. There are two rows of numbers, the top two lines are: one hundred collars of fish scale armor, two hundred pieces of broken crossbows, and two hundred pieces of buckled crossbows, and the bottom ones cannot be seen clearly.

"Please trouble the scribe!" Wang Wenzuo untied a skin bag from his waist and stuffed it into the scribe's hand: "A little heart, don't shirk it!"

The scribe got the benefit, and he agreed very readily, so he directed Wang Wenzuo's men to fetch the armor and armor.Wang Wenzuo came to his side and said in a low voice: "Scribe, is there a cart with four wheels in this arsenal?"

"Yes! Could it be that the captain needs it?"

"Well, I just don't know if it's possible!"

"How much does the captain want?"

"Twenty?"

The scribe hesitated for a moment, Wang Wenzuo took out something from his sleeve and stuffed it into the opponent's hand, the scribe gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Come with me, Captain!"

Wang Wenzuo followed the clerk through a dark corridor. He felt that the road was extending underground, and the surrounding area became increasingly dark. It was not until his eyes gradually adapted to the dark environment that he realized that the surrounding walls were made of unprocessed rough stone. For a while, he stretched out his hand and stroked the wall, following the footsteps of the scribe.

"Be careful!" the scribe whispered, and then Wang Wenzuo heard a small sound, and immediately the dazzling fire rose, and he subconsciously narrowed his eyes, and it took a few minutes for his eyes to adapt to the light again.I saw chariots on the ground. Judging from the exquisite decoration on the surface of the vehicles, these vehicles should belong to the nobles and even members of the royal family of Baekje.

"Look, they are all here, you can choose whatever you want, but it's best not to go out like this!"

"I understand!" Wang Wenzuo nodded: "I made some mud and covered it with a black cloth!"

When Wang Wenzuo returned to Erzhagang, it was completely dark, and he ordered the cart and Jiazhan to be put in the back camp before sitting down to eat.Although the food was no more than groatmeal, pancakes, and pickled leeks, it was delicious and sweet.

"Lang Jun!"

"Is it Yuan Fei? Come in and talk!"

Yuan Fei came in from outside the tent, bowed his knees to Wang Wenzuo first, "Do you have something to do with the villain?"

"Well, sit down and talk!" Wang Wenzuo tapped the bed beside him with his chopsticks: "Yuan Fei, are you familiar with the current situation of the Sanhan people in the city?"

"This—" Yuan Fei didn't expect Wang Wenzuo to ask this suddenly, and after thinking about it, he replied: "It's okay! What's your order?"

"How are they doing now?"

Yuan Fei hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "It's not that good. The Baekje people came to besiege a few days ago, and the Duhu Mansion conscripted a lot of strong men to go to the city. No matter what, they also gave out some food. After the Baekje people retreated, there was no After doing things, many people's homes are interrupted!"

"That's right!" Wang Wenzuo nodded: "Then you take a few people to the city and recruit 500 people. They must be strong and young, preferably with brothers at home. Each applicant will be given five buckets of rice, For a piece of cloth, you will get paid every month!"

"Yes, sir!" Yuan Fei was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately realized: "Do you have brothers in your family? What is the purpose of recruiting so many young men?"

"I'm not doing relief work here, of course I'm serving as a soldier!" Wang Wenzuo put down his bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth: "It's not rude to come here. Since the Baekje people came here, we will naturally fight back!"

"Lang Jun!" Yuan Fei replied cautiously, "Yes, but they only know how to farm the land, they don't know how to fight!"

"Can't fight? Didn't you fight well?"

"That's different! Although the villain is also from Sanhan, he is a hunter. He has been in the mountains and forests since he was a child, and he is good at shooting and hunting. Those people are born to farm. If you let them go into battle, they will only die!"

"You said they only know how to farm? Well, do they know how to thresh? Can they chop firewood? Can they cut grass and wheat?"

"Who doesn't know this? But what's the use of these? Can you still use this to kill the enemy?"

"Of course, I have my own opinion on this matter. You just go to recruit people, and you don't need to worry about the rest!"
