Niu Gaoniang was burning fire in the kitchen to make porridge. Niu Gao came in and said, the old lady thought for a while and said, "I knew there would be such a day. Your ability could not be just chopping wood and hunting. But before you go, you have to invite your wife back so that she can have a companion for her mother."

"Okay, I understand." Niu Gao came to Wu Song happily and told him about the matter.

Wu Song said: "Okay, although you fought with Niu Gao just now, the rules are rules. You have to fight with Li Kui or Anthony again."

Niu Gao said: "No problem, no problem. How much money can I pay after one month?"

Wu Song smiled and said, "Through the test, you will be treated as an umbrella leader. Of course, you will not lead the team at the beginning. You must pass the training before leading the team. The umbrella leader's salary is twenty taels of silver, and it will be paid when recruiting. The basic salary is three taels per month, plus various bonuses, about two hundred taels of silver a year."

Niu Gao's eyes were filled with stars and said, "Okay, okay, I Niu Gao like it. Come on, test it quickly. Brother Li Kui just played, and this time I'll change Anthony."

Niu Gao took out his distinguished weapon, a brass mace, which weighed more than 30 pounds. Niu Gao played a set of maces, and everyone felt that the techniques passed down by his father were good. It turned out that the Niu Gao family was born as a soldier.

Wu Song said: "This weapon competition is not suitable. You can find a short wooden stick. Anthony also uses a shield and a short wooden stick."

The two of them each took their weapons and fought in the yard. There was a fierce battle between them and the fight was very fierce. They used their skills and everyone applauded. There were also many villagers outside the yard watching the fun.

After playing for more than ten minutes, Anthony said: "Niu Gao is very strong, his moves are not mature, but his actual combat ability is not bad."

Wu Song nodded and said, "Okay, Niu Gao, you passed the test."

Several companions in the village called Niu Gao out and asked, "Niu Gao, why are you so happy? Are guests from home?"

"We came here with the famous tiger-beating Wu Song Wu Erlang, the boss of Tongda Dache Store. We have heard of it in the county, and we are recruiting escorts with high salaries." Niu Gao was so proud that he was not able to do it, his nostrils were facing the sky.

The partners said, "Since that's the case, why not take us with you if you have such a good thing? Although we are not as good as you, we still have some martial arts."

Niu Gao said: "No problem, no problem. I'll go in and ask Brother Wu Song. If he agrees, he will take you with him. But there is no chance to be an umbrella leader. There are two examiners, so they are so capable. You can beat ten like this."

These friends said: "If you can't be an escort leader, just be an ordinary escort."

Niu Gao went in and told Wu Song that Wu Song asked Niu Gao to call in a few friends who were willing to go with him. They were all strong men of twenty-sou-ro. Wu Song agreed immediately, but these people generally could not pass the test of the escort's martial arts, so they could only recruit according to the treatment of the guards and then get promoted after they have made contributions.

Wu Song always gets better when it comes to recruiting personnel, and he needs as much as he wants.

Anthony asked, "Why are you recruiting so many people?"

Li Kui said: "Our Song Dynasty is not a small country for you. There are twenty-four routes, more than 200 prefectures and more than 1,000 counties in the country. Brother Wu Song said that each prefecture must establish a semicolon. Each semicolon is calculated as a minimum of 100 guards, which means more than 20,000 people. How many people do you need?"

When Anthony heard this, he was shocked and ignored Li Kui. He turned to find Wu Song and pulled Wu Song aside and asked, "Boss, it seems that you need a lot of people. My Roman camp is only more than 30 people, so how about I send someone to Quanzhou and arrange for the merchant ships to bring me another four or five hundred people? Of course, my brother has to pay an extra commission."

"Okay, but there is one thing. I have to evaluate every soldier. Don't think of filling in the gaps. Also, military orders must be obeyed. If there are too many people, it will be easy to be confused. If there are wives and children, try to bring their wives and children over. There are places for Danluo Island to be placed." Wu Song said.

"There is absolutely no problem with combat effectiveness, but some are prisoners of war, and some are gladiators. Military orders can be guaranteed. If you dare to violate military rules, you should kill them. I will never stop them." Anthony promised.

Wu Song nodded, and Anthony went to write a letter. After arriving in Bianjing, he was ready to hand over the letter to Tongda Dacheshang, and then he took the letter back to Dongping by the Dacheshang. Then one of Anthony's deputy went south to Quanzhou and brought Anthony's mercenaries over through the Romans in Quanzhou.

It started to snow that day, and the weather was too cold. Wu Song and others were resting in Niugao after dinner, preparing to wait for the next day.

Niu Gao said: "Brother Li Kui, lend me your horse to use. I will go to my father-in-law's house and take my wife back. I will follow you out tomorrow."

Li Kui said: "You can't ride a horse, what should you do if you fall and get hurt?"

"Nonsense, I can ride a horse at the age of six, why would I fall and get injured? Help me for a while today. It's not okay to invite you to drink when I get my wages." Niu Gao said.

Li Kui said, "Okay, lend me my horse to ride, remember to come back early in the evening."

Niu Gao rode on a horse, raised the snowflakes all over the sky and drove his father-in-law to his house.

Niu Gao's wife was cooking with a two-year-old child. She kept scolding Niu Gao, a dead man, for asking him back soon.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves sounded outside the yard. Niu Gao's father-in-law hurriedly went out and wanted to see that it was his son-in-law and said, "Niu Gao, where did the horses come from?"

Niu Gao said proudly: "Hehe, I've been promoted and made a fortune. I'm a redemption. My annual salary is several hundred taels, which is even better than the county magistrate."

My father-in-law said, "Why don't I know when it happened?"

"Just today, I'm going to invite my wife back. I'm going to take office soon."

Niu Gao entered the yard with his head raised and his tail raised, swaying and said, "Daughter-in-law, where are you?"

"What are the chickens shouting? There are only three houses in his family, where can I hide it?" said Niu Gao's wife.

"Dad is here." The two-year-old son stretched out his hands to come when he saw Niu Gao coming.

Seeing that his wife was still angry, Niu Gao smiled and said with a pity: "I met a noble person today, and our poor life is over."

Niu Gao said as he took out four or five taels of silver and put it on the table. He felt that his waist was straight. The rich man had a loud voice, while the poor man's wife had a loud voice.

Niu Gao's father-in-law believed it now. If it weren't for the adventure, Niu Gao would have earned five taels of silver a year after chopping wood.

Niu Gao said: "I was wrong before. I didn't have money to pay my mother-in-law when she was sick. This time I don't keep one or two taels of silver for the twenty taels of silver. I buy a ox to raise for my father-in-law, and can cultivate a cattle, and can lay calves. I leave it for you. You and I will take care of the children at home. I will come back to see you when I take time."

It was a good thing, Niu Gao's wife cried again and said, "Will you look down on me when you have money in the future? Find a beautiful person from the city?"
