Chapter 347 Don't bully the poor young
"Li Da, what does Chen Langjun look like?"
Li Da, who returned to the warehouse, was dizzy when he listened to his friends' inquiries. After he followed Li Shu to the post station, he waited outside for a long time, and then was taken by the postman to pay homage to Mr. Chen.
At that time, Li Da only remembered that Chen Langjun asked about Aye, and said to him, "Since he is a loyal descendant, I should take care of himself, but you are still young and you are good at practicing martial arts in Dunhuang City. When you grow up, you will go to Anxi to join me."
Thinking of this, Li Da couldn't help but reach into his arms. The purse inside contained dozens of gold and silver coins, which were given to him by Mr. Chen.
"Mr. Chen is a godlike figure..."
Li Da and his friends bragged, and then these twelve-year-old boys all had a longing on their faces. Like Li Da, they were all mixed-race men. They kissed Aye and died on the battlefield. Ah Mother remarried, so they could only hang out on the streets.
Rice in the border land is expensive and life is not easy for the people. If children like them who remarry with their mothers do not want to be called as cows and horses at home, they have to find food to eat by themselves.
At their age, they either go to be thieves or are sold to wealthy families to be children's servants. However, Li Da told these companions that their third way out was, "Mr. Chen said that at that time, the escort business will be established in Dunhuang City. We can join the escort business. Once we have mastered our martial arts, we can serve the escort business in two years."
Li Da still took out the purse that Chen Guang gave him, took it out and distributed it to these partners, asking them to tell more peers on the street, "Don't tell them those cowards, that when they go to Langjun's escort business to cheat food and drink, it will lose our face."
"Brother is right, we know."
Several teenagers said with their eyes shining, teenagers like them who dare to go out to find work are bold and flexible people in their peers, and naturally they look down on those cowards who are bullied by their brothers at home and dare not speak out.
...
The next morning, when Chen Guang got up early and was about to set off at the entrance of the inn, he did not expect that the young man who was given gold by him yesterday had received about forty or fifty boys waiting at the street corner.
Most of these teenagers were dressed in a simple manner, but it was obvious that everyone had carefully cleaned up? Behind Chen Guang? Li Shu, who was already planning to follow Chen Guang to the Anxi Army, saw Li Da and the others, and couldn't help but sigh.
This Shen Langjun has the style of a famous general in ancient times. Even when he was a poor boy like Li Da, he also encouraged him. He gave him gold and made a promise, "That sentence "Thirty years from Hedong? Thirty years from Hexi, don't bully the young man poor." It was deafening? It was enough to make these young men willing to serve him and die.
Zhang Xun was watching these young men in line by the side? Thinking of Chen Guang once said that although the border army is brave and good at fighting, he doesn’t know what the national justice is. Such an army is very powerful for a while, but it cannot always be strong.
Anxi is far away from Chang'an? If it is difficult to defend Anxi for the Tang Dynasty for generations, it is necessary to defend Anxi with the Anxi army. Everyone in the Anxi army must study, know etiquette and understand the great righteousness. I don’t know how many poor young men in Hexi who have no way out like Li Da. As long as they give them hope, they will be the backbone and backbone of the Anxi army in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xun's regret that he could not go to Xiao Bolu with Chen Guang to fight with Xiao Bolu was greatly alleviated. He stayed in Dunhuang City for the time being and helped build the Dunhuang branch of the escort agency? It is undoubtedly more meaningful to give these teenagers a way out.
Chen Guang walked to the group of teenagers? "Gourmet to the husband." A neat shout sounded. Chen Guang knew that these teenagers were afraid they had practiced. Then he looked at Li Da, the leader, and said, "You have the intention."
"Since you call me a husband, you will be my Shenguang people in the future. You will be good at studying and practicing martial arts in this Dunhuang City. I am waiting for you to come and serve me in Anxi."
Chen Guang said nothing else. He had made some kindness to these young men, so why bother to hide it? What's more, his actions were natural in this era.
"I wish to serve my husband."
Li Da cried out loudly as the adults said. Some of the teenagers behind him reacted quickly and some of them were slow, but they all shouted, "I wish to serve my husband."
Most of the dozens of teenagers were thin, but the fangs behind Chen Guang did not laugh at these teenagers because they looked serious and they all had a brave and fierce temperament.
"Brother Zhang, I'll ask you for your affairs here."
Chen Guang said to Zhang Xun that Li Da led these young men on the streets to him today, making him realize that there are still many young men like this in the big cities of various prefectures and counties in Hexi. They are all precious wealth. Now it is the sixth year of Tianbao. In another eight years, they will be able to kill the enemy in more than one generation and become the new generation of grassroots officers of the Anxi Army.
"Don't worry, Chen Lang, I will take good care of them until Zimei and the others come."
Zhang Xun responded that these street boys are certainly scoundrels in the eyes of others, but he knew that as long as he treated them well, these people would be the heroes who committed suicide and righteousness.
Chen Lang's escort agency opened, and all the escorts in the world will return to Anxi in the future! Thinking of the grand occasion of the grand occasion of Chang'an when the escort agency opened that day, all the heroes and young men from Chang'an came to join us, Zhang Xun felt emotion.
"Have you eaten?"
"Eat... yet... never before"
Li Da originally wanted to say that he had eaten it, but looking at Chen Guang's eyes, he still didn't act like a hero in the end and answered honestly.
"Nanba, go and ask the inn to send some food and drinks to the station, and I want to drink a drink with these little brothers."
Nan Jiyun left with a sound, and he was filled with excitement. These street boys reminded him of his youth. If he had met a noble man like Lang Jun at that time, he would not have wasted half of his life.
Not long after, Nan Jiyun and the soldiers came out with the leftover cakes, broth and several jars of wine they had in the morning.
The boys couldn't help swallowing their throats when they smelled the rich aroma of flesh from the wind, but no one made any noise at this time. They were always looked down upon by others. Li Da and the others were pestering Li Shu to learn the knife because Li Shu slept in the stable all day long and was a sloppy man in the eyes of others. Everyone was the eldest brother and didn't laugh at the second brother.
However, for these street teenagers, a nobleman like Chen Guang is like a man from heaven. Such a nobleman should not even look at them directly, let alone have high expectations for them.
Soon after Hu Bao broth was finished, Chen Guang looked at the teenagers who were suppressing hunger and waiting for him to speak, and laughed, "When you are full, you will have a glass of wine with someone and see him off."
At this time, the teenagers followed Li Da to eat voraciously. The street teenagers in Dunhuang City were not only dozens of them. They could be brought by Li Da. Not only could they beat their peers, but they were also disdainful to do those stealing things. They would rather do some hard work for the warehouse and the Hu merchants.
Even though they are so poor that they don’t even have a good dress, they are at least poor and have the backbone. In this world, they have not bowed to the difficult life and want to use their strength and backbone to make a way out for themselves.
Soon the teenagers ate the Hu cake and broth they had all been given, and there was no drop left. The big bowl was added as if it had been washed. The fang soldiers beside them did not laugh at the boys, but instead solemnly poured the pineapple wine into their empty bowls.
