Chapter Fifty-Six: Getting Better

"Okay, don't probe your brain, come in and get the money!"

After opening the door of his yard, Liu Bin shouted at those who lingered and refused to leave. As soon as he finished speaking, a slight burst of joy erupted in the crowd. A noisy and excited discussion arose, and everyone squeezed towards Liu Bin's courtyard in unison.

In the courtyard, there was an old man with gray hair, holding a brush in his hand, and he came to record it, and asked people to press his handprints, and then took out the silver with white flowers from another bag and gave it to the person who signed it. This old man is responsible for coming over and looking long, and after Liu Bin chose a side according to his family background, he once again used his countless eyeballs to screen one side.

Compared with Liu Bin, who is a little ignorant, he clearly knows who he is doing things for, so he is very hardworking, conscientious, and does not dare to slack off at all. Whether the second half of the generation enjoys happiness or goes to the toilet depends on this experience.

Liu Bin stood beside him, looking at the smiling neighbors who were not able to get along, and he was also a little proud, and scolded the swarthy middle-aged man dressed as a tenant who received money at the last party: "Iron Shell, didn't you say that you didn't send your baby over, didn't you say that I changed my career to be a kidnapper?" Why, still come to me as a kidnapper to receive money? ”

Hearing that the other party was so cold to himself, this farmer nicknamed Iron Shell immediately smiled embarrassedly, and said to Liu Bin who was making fun of him: "Little Brother Liu, don't laugh at me, don't I have little knowledge and don't know anything, it's not right for me to laugh at you before, it's not right for me." ”

"Alright, alright, don't make a fuss, go get the money." Liu Bin didn't really blame him, he just let out the sullen breath in his heart before. When Iron Shell heard him say this, he was even more embarrassed, and bowed a few times before running over, and the last one to collect the money.

The family members of ten people were only twenty taels of silver, and they were all distributed at once. When these acquaintances left, Liu Bin came over, and asked the old man who was rubbing his wrist a little respectfully, "Old Dong, have you rested?" Can you leave tomorrow and accompany me to choose someone. ”

Liu Bin didn't know the old man's name, only knew that the old man's surname was Dong, so he called it so. Hearing his question, Eunuch Dong loosened his wrist and said in a hoarse voice: "Miscellaneous... The old man is naturally fine, and he can go out with Liu Zhuangshi tomorrow. ”

"That's great." Liu Bin was overjoyed. He has seen the power of this eunuch, just by pinching and looking at it like this, he can pick out those teenagers who are born with bad bones or have hidden diseases, so that he can save countless troubles and efforts.

When he knew that this old eunuch had this ability, Zhu Youxiao was still very curious, and when he saw them, he asked them personally. The principle sounds a little magical, that is, some special skills of the Xiangshi, which have been handed down a long time ago, and he just happened to learn some of them, plus the experience in the court, so he has such a strange ability.

"Elder Dong, you have to have a good rest today, tomorrow we will leave this Beijing City, go to the surrounding farmland and farms to recruit people, and some of them will leave when the time comes." seemed to remember something, and after being happy, Liu Bin was a little worried.

After carefully studying the standards of Zhu Youxiao's good family, Liu Bin found that in this city, it is really very difficult to find all three hundred such young men, either the physical fitness is not up to standard, or the family background does not match, or he has mixed in the streets, which is too slippery and tricky.

All the people I knew started to know, and there were two or three hundred young men one after another, but only ten of them met the criteria. This quality of the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven not only surprised Liu Bin a little, but also made him faintly worried, afraid that it would delay the affairs of the nobles.

Combined with the selection criteria given by the housekeeper, after discussing with Luo Qing, he quickly targeted the outermost part of Beijing City, where there were a large number of farms and fields, and there were many tenants. Nobles don't want businessmen, don't walk the streets and alleys, it's just right there, all of them are innocent and honest farmers.

After the personnel were properly arranged, Liu Bin took the funds given by Wei Zhongxian and began to purchase the first carriage and horse. Having been walking in the market for a long time, he deeply knows how important it is to have a glamorous and stylish outfit. And when going to the outskirts of the city, it is definitely not possible to take those skeptical citizens to Lingchunfang to check it out like this time.

In order to do everything properly and quickly and well, Liu Bin and Luo Qing thought carefully for a long time before they had a clue, and then they assigned people to prepare for the purchase, and only after everything was done, they drove to the suburban farm.

The garrison of the forbidden army of the East Palace.

Zhu Youzheng pinched a beautifully made quill pen and wrote on the desk, sorting out his thoughts while writing. The quill was made by the master craftsmen in the silver bureau, and over the years, although he did not stretch his hand to that side, he often asked those craftsmen to make small things, such as the quill and charcoal that he now uses. As for the toothbrush, he didn't need to be instructed to use it shortly after he crossed over.

In fact, these things were invented by our ancestors a long time ago, but they were not widely spread, but the archaeology of later generations has long confirmed that our ancestors are still very smart, such as toothbrushes, toilets, sewer pipes, vernier calipers and the like, which have long existed. Zhu Youxiao just said his thoughts, and the craftsmen could make them for him.

This time he wrote, he didn't let Liu Ruoyu write, not that the things he wrote were confidential, but Zhu Youxiao felt that this made him enter the state of thinking more, and wrote it down sentence by sentence, which made his thinking clearer. What he is writing at the moment is a summary of his experience after training in the past few days.

Between the feathers of the goose, a strange voice could be heard drifting in. Now the one who is directing the training of ten young men outside is one of the twenty eunuchs, this is Zhu Youxiao's attention, he plans to let these twenty people take turns to take a look, each of them for a day, try what it is like to take a recruit for training, and accumulate experience.

For this reason, he also specially instructed Wei Zhongxian not to send people in first, and wait until twenty days later, he will take turns on his side and then send people to the palace. This order just made Wei Zhongxian breathe a sigh of relief, although Liu Bin's plan was good, but it unexpectedly took a lot of time, and at this time, there were twenty days, just enough to prepare more and make it more appropriate. And for this matter, Wei Zhongxian is also, he goes out early and returns late every day, and he can hardly see his figure in the palace during the day.

However, although there are many things, Wei Zhongxian will definitely come back at night, and will never spend the night outside. Every night, Zhu Youxiao would gather these twenty instructors and eunuchs, and then let Liu Ruoyu teach them to read and write, and at this time, Wei Zhongxian and Wang Chengen, who had not entered the inner study hall, would also study together.

After so many years, they have long found that this young master is very different, and he attaches great importance to his subordinates' mastery of words. When he learned that only a very small number of these eunuchs had entered the inner study hall, he immediately arranged such a study. And the study and inner study arranged are a little different, not only enlightenment literacy, but also some nine chapters of arithmetic, account calculations and the like. The reason why Wang Chengen was arranged to manage finances was because he was very good at arithmetic.

Since he trained these eunuchs for a period of time and found that they were not the material for being soldiers, Zhu Youxiao immediately changed his attention. At first, he wanted to learn from a book to train these eunuchs into instructors who were similar to political commissars who specialized in ideological propaganda work, but after a period of time, he found that there were still very few eunuchs who were not disabled, and after a piece of the parts on their bodies was missing, these people had more or less bad habits that could not be changed.

So he immediately gave up his idea, only planning to let them do a transfer and help him train a stick man, as for where to go in the future, he also had an idea, take the business route, and manage the finances for him. That's why he began to let these young eunuchs learn some arithmetic accounts.

The room was very quiet, only the rustling of Zhu Youxiao's writing and the sound of Hakka fanning him. Writing and writing, he also stopped to think for a long time from time to time, and his serious expression was extremely inconsistent with his immature face, which made people laugh a little, but the eunuch and palace maid who stood silently in the room turned a blind eye and seemed to have become accustomed to it.

He is drastically revising his training policy and plan. When he was a soldier in his previous life, he advocated paying attention to civilized leading soldiers, although it was not impossible for recruits to even beat people, but there were very few of them, and his three-month recruits were only three or four times. When he joined the work and caught up with the judicial reform, the prison also paid attention to civilized management, and all kinds of beatings and scolding were extremely severe.

Influenced by these influences, he naturally leaned towards this direction when he first made plans. After two or three days of his own personal experience, he was stunned to find that he seemed to be wrong. Unlike modern people, who are well-informed and have a strong ability to accept and adapt, the people of the Ming Dynasty here seem to have faster body memory. A few crackling sticks went down, and all kinds of problems quickly changed.

What kind of hygiene habits, what kind of body of solitary movements, politeness and the formation of orderly behavior in line, etc., were quickly corrected with sticks. It is useless to preach, but to punish.

In such a situation, how could he still dogmatically adhere to the plan written under the guidance of his own wrong experience? He is a believer who often eats Grandpa Mao, seeking truth from facts, adapting measures to local conditions, and keeping pace with the times is not a joke.

Since sticks work, use sticks.

Not to mention, after such a punishment, the order was suddenly orderly, and there was a faint hint of flavor between the ten people walking in a row. They don't have any opinions about being beaten, but it's a little strange, didn't they say that they would come to be long-term workers, how to train this all day long. They are all children of the bottom, and they don't have any feelings about the role of the queue, only Li Yuyu, who was born in a military household, seems to be faintly aware of it.

After slowly writing a few large pages of paper, Zhu Youxiao gradually stopped, put down the quill pen, and moved his wrist. The gradually hot weather made him sweat, and even the strong fan of the Hakka next to him couldn't go away.

After a short rest, Zhu Youxiao took out his infantry drill book again, and then began to annotate and revise, and the wrong things must be corrected in time.
