"Moo... Moo..."

The ox cart walked slowly, although the speed was poor, but the comfort was better than the horse-drawn cart.

Spring is late, and people are prone to sleepiness. Li Luo and Cui Xiuning soon took a nap in the car.

The Jurchen private soldiers outside the car also stopped talking and hurried on their way.

Today, their food is excellent. Not only is the rice and white noodles full, but there is also meat every day, and even the parents and family have money and food to take care of. These are all given by the little wolf lord, and it is the duty to protect the lord.

It was almost noon when everyone came to a place: the red pine forest.

As soon as the ox cart stopped, the two people in the cart woke up together, and their heads were almost next to each other.

"Little wolf master..."

"What?"

"Drive to the red pine forest." Yan Falcon's voice came with a little complicated.

It turned out to be a red pine forest!

Li Luo and Cui Xiuning got out of the car together, looking at the bottom-shaped section of the road in front of them and the treacherous terrain on the side of the road.

Twenty-three days ago, it was here that Li Luo ambushed Turnuma and Liu Chengrin and shot dozens of people on the other side.

No wonder Yan Falcon and the others wanted to stop, they had ambushed others before, so they were naturally afraid of being ambushed by others.

There was no need for Li Luo's orders at all, everyone's bows and arrows were taken down together, and two people entered the red pine forest to investigate.

It's just a precaution.

Soon, the two came down to report: "Wolf master, it's okay." ”

Li Luo boarded the car, and the ox cart entered the pot bottom-shaped section.

In the swaying of the ox cart, Li Luo seemed to see a young and unwilling face smiling at him.

He seemed to hear this man roaring: "How can Ben Lang-kun lose!" Li Luo, how dare you, how can you do it to Turnuma......"

Li Luo was in a trance, and he didn't know if he was sleepy, or if Liu Chengrafter's ghost was really unwilling to leave.

When he arrived in the city, Li Luo first found a restaurant, let Yan Falcon and the others eat well, and then directly inquired about the slave market and rushed over.

The slave market in Jianghuashan City is in the southwest of the city, and there are seven or eight slave companies, leading groups of slaves to sell.

"A fifteen-year-old girl in the West Country only needs to ...... five times"

"Twelve-year-old boy, if you buy it back, you can work in the field, and it only costs six yuan......

"These are the exiles from the Western Kingdom, it's best to be a nurse, and take three of the twenty yuan together!"

Li Luo and Cui Xiuning silently looked at the slave market, which was not much bigger than a football field, and there were thousands of slaves waiting to be sold, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised.

There are less than 20,000 people in Jianghuashan City, and there are too many people who have sold themselves into slavery. And many of them are still Han Chinese.

The price is really cheaper.

A big living person is worth a few dollars!

Without exception, these people are all yellow-skinned, full of vegetables, most of them are not very old, and the youngest even has a child of seven or eight years old.

If you can become a slave, you will probably be able to survive without starving.

Regarding the plan to buy slaves, Li Luo and Cui Xiuning had already discussed the plan. It's not so much about buying slaves as it is about "recruiting students".

After coming to Nu City, the two directly implemented the plan.

First of all, it is necessary to buy five elderly men and women to serve as stewards and liberate the two from the trivial affairs of the compound.

In addition, it is to buy fifty and a half adults. Age between fifteen and eighteen, literacy is preferred.

At this age, it can be used, it is not cumbersome, and it is the time when the learning ability is the strongest, and it is also plastic.

Too small or too big is not appropriate.

Of course, it was Cui Xiuning who picked people. She was meticulous in her work, first observing carefully, then asking a few words to see if she was literate, and then making a decision.

It took three hours to go through the entire slave market before finally buying fifty-five people.

Five men and women in their thirties and forties, two of whom were literate. The three women also looked relatively neat.

There are fifty left, thirty young Chinese New Year's Eve, and twenty young girls. All of them are Han Chinese, and most of them are literate.

A total of three hundred and thirty yuan was spent, with an average of six dollars per piece.

At this time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Luo accepted the slave deed and asked Yan Falcon to buy some steamed buns and distribute them to the newly bought "housekeepers", so that they could eat while hurrying.

A group of sixty or seventy people went out of the city gate, traveled south, and returned to Lijiawu Fort at more than ten o'clock.

That night, Li Luo and Cui Xiuning used five middle-aged men and women.

chatted with the five of them for a while, and both of them knew it in their hearts and quickly made arrangements.

"From today on, your name is Lee Min Ho, and the housekeeper is you."

"You will be called Li Junji in the future, and you will be in charge of the money and grain warehouse."

"You will be called Li Yingai in the future, and you will take care of the kitchen meals."

"You will be called Li Huili in the future, and you will be in charge of cleaning the court."

"In the future, your name is Li Zhien, and you will take care of everyone's clothes and fabrics."

"Five of you, you may command fifty others. Unless they have other important matters, they will be at your disposal. ”

After Li Luo finished speaking, it was Cui Xiuning's turn.

Cui Xiuning almost ran away when she heard that Li Luo had given the five people such names.

"When I entered the Li family, it was a family. Do not be restrained. There are only a few, so it's important to keep in mind. Cui Xiuning said.

"First, be open-minded. As long as it's because of public intentions, it doesn't matter if you do something wrong. ”

"Second, anything you hear or see in the mansion is not allowed to be transmitted to the outer courtyard, let alone outside the courtyard."

"Third, I will give you a copy of the Charter, and you can do things in accordance with the Charter."

"Fourth, your first task is to arrange these fifty young girls. By tomorrow night at the latest, I'm going to see them all dressed cleanly, all showered, and all have a proper place to stay. ”

Cui Xiuning made four demands in one breath.

…………

Three days later, the huge Li Mansion began to operate in an orderly manner.

After further investigation, Li Luo first selected five teenagers as porcelain workers to assist him in firing porcelain. These five people are not just porcelain apprentices, but all have potential in business and political management, and they are actually Li Luo's apprentices.

Ten supplements were selected to be added to the private guards, and they trained with Yan Falcon and others.

Five others were selected by Cui Xiuning to her intelligence agency, the "Special Investigation Bureau".

In the end, there were ten left to temporarily serve as various miscellaneous servants in the courtyard.

Of the twenty girls, Cui Xiuning selected five smart and clever ones as members of the intelligence organization "Special Investigation Bureau". With the addition of five teenagers, her Special Investigation Bureau has ten first-class trainees.

There are also four young girls who were selected by Cui Xiuning as personal guards and trained with Yan Falcon and others to protect her safety closely.

There are also eleven young girls who are temporarily responsible for the chores in the house.

At this point, everyone is in place and performs its duties.

The porcelain business planned by Li Luo was under the jurisdiction of the "Bureau of Commerce", a subordinate agency of the "Luoning Society". Of course, that's just a formality at the moment.

At present, under the "Luoning Society", there is already a military force "Luoning Battalion", an intelligence agency "Special Investigation Bureau", and other institutions do not exist.

Now, the biggest problem facing the two is exposed: the lack of talent.

The education and training of these teenagers and girls must be stepped upon.

On March 6, the temporary training class "Night Moon Hall" of Luoning Club opened.

There are only two teachers in the "Night Moon Hall", Li Luo and Cui Xiuning.

The content taught is all very useful in real life. At present, there are only a few subjects such as officer training, business knowledge, navigation, administration, and intelligence, of which military is the heaviest.

Because there are only three classes a night, it is difficult to have time to train during the day.

The target of the training is more than 30 literate teenagers and girls, as well as five or six literate Jurchen teenagers such as Yan Falcon. That's forty people in total.

"Night Moon Hall" adopts an accelerated system. After 200 hours of military studies, you can become a teacher. Business, navigation (navy), and administration can be taught after 100 hours.
