Chapter 387 How about we sign a contract to sell ourselves?
The monkey milk cap started to scatter flowers like a fairy, and countless powders fell down.
These people fainted before they could react.
Then Huo Jun and Jiang Lin saw a magical scene. All the people under Master Bai started to move.
Huangmao and a group of people started to load food onto the carriage.
Some people started moving jewelry, gold bars, and silver ingots...
Master Bai also started to move things onto the carriage. When he turned around, Huo Jun and the others were still standing there!
Master Bai cursed:
"What are you thinking of standing there like an idiot?
If I didn’t need you to move things, I wouldn’t bother bringing you here! Hurry up…”
Huo Jun swallowed and said, "Move..."
Dozens of soldiers under his command moved immediately, which was quite fast.
As Huo Jun stepped into the granary, he was instantly shocked by the scene before him. He stood there in a daze. Thousands of bags of grain were piled up into a small hill.
Not far away, wooden boxes were stacked up, filled with weapons.
The lid of the box was half open, and the cold gleam of the sword blade and the tip of the spear were occasionally revealed.
Going further in, on one side are large bales of cotton and neatly stacked military uniforms made of thick fabric.
Jiang Lin looked at the uniforms and said, "Didn't you tell us that you don't have money to buy uniforms? Our army hasn't had new uniforms in three years."
Huo Jun walked in, and the scene before him made him breathless.
More than one hundred pieces of armor were neatly arranged, quietly emitting a cold metallic luster.
These armors are made of tough leather and high-quality metal, and every rivet is tightly fitted. You can tell at a glance that they are carefully crafted and of high quality. Wearing them will definitely give you more confidence to survive on the battlefield.
Looking at these armors, Huo Jun's eyes instantly turned red and a sour feeling surged in his heart.
In his army of more than 50,000 people, from top to bottom, there was not a single piece of protective gear of this quality.
Soldiers charged into battle, using only their flesh and blood to fight against the enemy's swords and guns, suffering countless casualties, yet hundreds of items are displayed so easily here.
Jiang Lin was standing by, shaking with anger, his eyes red as he gritted his teeth and said, "They're going too far! Where do they put our lives at?"
Master Bai frowned and urged anxiously, "Alright, stop being sad and gloomy! Hurry up and act quickly!"
Everyone seemed to have just woken up from their dream and immediately sped up their pace, frantically moving armor, food, and all kinds of supplies onto the carriage.
The carriages originally prepared soon became insufficient, and they had to requisition the vehicles here.
The carriages were packed to the brim, and the supplies piled high were shaky.
Naitang was not to be outdone, and he and his men shuttled between the crowd and supplies.
They had sharp eyes and did not miss any corner. They looted all the remaining supplies in the warehouse, even the silver carried by those people.
Soon, the convoy drove back in the direction they came from, raising a cloud of dust.
They went back and forth three times before they moved all the things here. In the morning, they all returned to the barracks.
Gu Dongyang hurried forward, his expression a bit excited, and quickly came to report to the crowd. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and said loudly:
"We had a great harvest this time! We found over 31,000 cotton-padded jackets.
These cotton coats are thick and warm, with fine stitching. Although the fabric is not top-grade silk, it is also a wear-resistant coarse cloth.
The cotton filling inside is fluffy and soft, which can definitely help the soldiers withstand the severe cold. Should we distribute it now?"
"There are also various kinds of food. There are more than 6,000 bags of rice alone. Each bag is full and the grains are plump.
In addition, there are more than 2,000 bags of white flour, which is white and fine, and can be used to make a variety of pasta to improve the soldiers' meals."
“As for weapons, we found more than 20,000 pieces.
The long sword shone coldly, the blade was straight, and the edge was sharp. It could cut through the air with a slight swing.
The spear has a tough shaft and an extremely sharp tip, making it an absolutely powerful weapon for killing enemies on the battlefield.
There are also shields, which are thick and strong, and can provide reliable protection for the warriors. "
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect there would be so many things.
Huo Jun looked at Master Bai and said, "Uncle Bai, these are your things. You have the final say on how to distribute them."
Master Bai looked at him and said, "Huo Jun, have you ever thought about doing something big?"
Huo Jun stared at Master Bai in a daze. Master Bai smiled and said:
"This time we plan to go back to Bianjing to see what the situation is like inside. You also know that the evil concubine is rampant.
The world will eventually be in chaos. What will you do then?"
Huo Jun looked at him and knelt down on the ground and said, "Uncle Bai, you saved my life, so it belongs to you. You also saved the lives of my brothers. From now on, I will only obey your orders."
Master Bai coughed and said:
"How about we sign a contract to sell ourselves? Don't get me wrong!
Most of the people here have indentures. Your uncle, Uncle Gu, and Uncle Wang were all rescued. What do you think?"
After signing the indenture, they became a family.
Huo Jun nodded directly and said: "I sign..."
Master Bai coughed, picked up his pen and wrote for a long time before saying, "It's a deal, from now on, your military camp will belong to us, Wanwan..."
Huo Jun looked at the brothers next to him. They all nodded and signed.
Master Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then we'll be a family from now on. Family members shouldn't have different opinions. Don't worry, you'll live a good life."
Huo Jun firmly believed that Lin Wanwan had fallen asleep. She had no idea that her team had expanded a lot now.
When the more than 20,000 brand new cotton-padded jackets were distributed to the soldiers one after another, the entire military camp was in an uproar.
The soldiers' hands trembled slightly as they gently stroked the fabric of their cotton coats, their eyes full of disbelief.
"Oh my god," a burly man said with a choked voice and red eyes, "I haven't seen new clothes in how long. How come we suddenly have money to buy new clothes?"
"That's right!" another young soldier said, his face flushed with excitement, his voice rising unconsciously. "Ever since I joined the army, I've never seen clothes this new. The material and workmanship are so rare!"
Just as everyone was talking, a stern voice suddenly rang out: "Keep your voices down!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a general with a stern expression. He glanced around and said slowly:
"Everyone will have new clothes in the future. Now we will distribute these 20,000 pieces so that those with weak constitutions can wear them first.
But one thing is for sure, no one is allowed to tell anyone about this, or they will be killed without mercy!"
The soldiers present naturally understood the principle that military orders are as heavy as mountains. Upon hearing this, everyone shut their mouths. Some even quickly covered their mouths for fear of accidentally letting out a word.
Soon, a festive atmosphere like the New Year filled the military camp.
