Great Tang’s Talented Little Landlord

Li Wangyou thinks about it and thinks it makes sense. The law and order of Great Tang can’t be said to be very good. It is indeed dangerous to go out alone. With my own small arms and legs, I really made a lot of money when I went out this time. It’s really a question of whether I can get it back safely.

Li Wangyou thought for a while and said to Su Changqing: “Tomorrow morning, Dang! Find Old Village Head, ask him to introduce two powerful villagers in Kong In Military there, and escort me.”

Su Changqing thought for a while, and nodded agreed with his idea. The folk customs of Dingzhou Village are simple, and there should be no problem with villagers protecting Li Wangyou.

In the early morning of 2nd day, Li Wangyou once again refused Li Heng’s request to follow him to the county town, put on the package Su Changqing helped him pack, and walked out of the house to the Old Village Head home.

Old Village Heads home is at the west end of the village, not too far from Li Wangyous home. When Li Wangyou arrived, the Village Head family had already gotten up and were busy with various farm work.

“Li Family small master, but something?” Old Village Head was surprised by Li Wangyou’s visit.

Li Wangyou handed in a salute: “Old Village Head, I need to go to Chang’an City, because there is only the old steward at home, and I need to look after the house. Can Old Village Head help me introduce two reliable The villagers, accompany me all the way? I will pay them.”

He said to Su Changqing last night that he was going to the county town of Hu County by himself. In fact, his destination was Great Tang Capital City Ch_ng ‘n, I was only afraid of Su Changqing’s inquiry, so I went to Hu County to find Yang Zuan as an excuse.

“How many days will the small master go?”

“It will probably take two or three days to delay in Chang’an City.”

“There is no problem. What kind of compensation do you want. Wait a moment, Dang! Call someone for you.” Old Village Head immediately agreed and let Li Wangyou sit in the hall for a while. He went out to help Li Wangyou find someone.

Not long after, Old Village Head walked in with two burly robust men.

The two Guanzhong men are both about 1.8 metres tall. In Great Tang, whose average height is only 1.6 m, these two are considered giants.

But to Li Wangyou’s surprise, the two Guanzhong guys were also disabled. One had no left hand, and the other was blind with a blindfold.

Li Wangyou thought of seeing the mature men in Dingzhou Village yesterday. Many of them were disabled. He couldn’t help but turn his inquiring eyes to Old Village Head.

Old Village Head is so old and mature, Li Wangyou’s doubts are not seen, so he explained it to him in a low voice, and Li Wangyou suddenly realized.

It turns out that there are so many disabled villagers in Dingzhou Village because they were all government soldiers before.

Great Tang follows the military system of the previous dynasty, and all recipients from 20 years old to 60 years old are obliged to perform military service. Choose good economic conditions, strong body, and many males in the family as soldiers.

The government soldiers need to prepare their own weapons, equipment and food and payment. The so-called combination of soldiers in agriculture, soldiers and farmers, from the farmers who equalize the land, the source of troops is guaranteed.

While fighting in battle, there is no one who is not injured. With Great Tangs medical conditions, many people are naturally disabled.

After listening to Old Village Heads explanation, Li Wangyou was a little confused.

The Great Tang soldiers should all belong to relatively rich families, so why is there so many soldiers in Dingzhou Village, yet so barren?

Old Village Head hesitated a little before explaining: “The remnants of the village are all former soldiers.”

The former? Li Wangyou was stunned. It turned out that the soldiers of Dingzhou Village were all soldiers of Sui Dynasty. No wonder!

No wonder these disabled villagers are middle age persons.

These veterans of the government soldiers in Dingzhou Village were all soldiers guarding the gate in the early and late Sui Dynasty.

In the 14th year of the great cause, in the first year of Emperor’s reign in Wude, Li Yuan attacked Guanzhong, proclaiming the emperor and establishing the country.

These Dingzhou Village soldiers were injured and returned to Great Tang.

But after all, they were soldiers of the former dynasty, and they had many disabilities. Soon after they returned to Great Tang, they were disarmed and returned to the fields. As for the military merit rewards, they were even more impossible.

From the first year of Emperor’s reign in Wude to the second year of Zhenguan, in ten years, the originally rich Dingzhou Village has become poorer and poorer.

“Li Family small master, these two are Niu Family brothers. Dalang and Erlang are both good players in the army. The one who lacks an arm is Dalang Niuyong, and the one who is blind is His younger brother Niu Wu, dont look at them even though they are physically handicapped, but waiting for seven or eight big guys cant help them.”

Although Li Wangyou could not see the strength of the two, he only looked at them. The strong muscles of the great man in Guanzhong knew that it was not to be trifled with, and he quickly bowed his hands.

“Niu Family brothers, I need to go to Chang’an City. I have two escorts.”

Niu Dalang nodded, in a low, muffled voice said: “No problem, don’t worry, the small master, our brother must take care of you.”

Niu Erlang looked at Li Wangyou with that intact one-eyed curiously.

“Two elder brothers, do you need to prepare?”

“No, you guys have brought everything, so you can leave now.” Niu Da finished speaking and turned around Picking up the weapon placed in the courtyard, Li Wangyou jumped.

Guys, are these brothers going to fight? Except for the lack of armor, he was basically armed to the teeth.

The Great Tang law does not prohibit civilians from owning weapons. Bows, arrows, knives, shields, short spears and other weapons are acceptable, but heavy weapons such as armor, crossbow, lance, and horse armor are prohibited.

And the Niu Family brother actually has a bow, arrow, knife, and short spear, making Li Wangyou blushed with shame.

Niu Yong is carrying a few short spears and a long knife on his waist, while Niu Wu is carrying an Archer to carry a short blade. Is this sure to escort him to Ch_ng’n instead of fighting?

“Niu Dalang, Erlang, are you too exaggerated?”

Niu Yong shook his head: “Be careful, there is no big mistake. Besides, our brother is also used to it.”

p>

Well, Li Wangyou has nothing to say, anyway, this is really safe. And if there is no accident, I should bring a lot of food and money back this time, and I really need someone to protect it.

Thank you once again for Old Village Head, the three of them walked out of the village to Hu County.

20 li is actually not too far away. If an adult walks fast, one hour is enough. However, Li Wangyou’s 16-year-old small physique, coupled with his recovery from a serious illness, only walked out of Erliduo, he was so tired that he was gasping for breath.

“Dalang, Erlang, take a break, take a break, I can’t walk anymore.” Li Wangyou sat on the roadside ridge, panting heavily.

Niu Da frowned and looked at the sun, turned his head and shouted at Niu Er: “Erlang, you carry the small master and go.”

“Okay.” Niu Wu didn’t hesitate. Remove the bow and arrow from his back and hold it in his hand, then squat down to carry Li Wangyou.

“This, how can this be? I can go by myself.” Li Wangyou is so embarrassed, how can he let Niu Wu carry him.

Niu Wu didn’t talk nonsense with him at all, pulled him directly on his back, and strode forward with Meteor. Li Wangyou has a small physique of less than a hundred catties, but Niu Wu carries him on his back as if he has no weight at all, very relaxed.

Li Wangyou wants to struggle, but Niu Wu’s two sturdy arms are like two iron chains, and he can’t break free. In desperation, Li Wangyou could only be obediently and honestly carried forward by Niu Wu.

In order to alleviate their embarrassment, but also to understand the two “Titans” who protect themselves, Li Wangyou talked with them.

This chat made him stand in awe of the brothers.
