Volume 3 Spring and Autumn of the Pencil Knife Chapter 497 Solving the shortage of manpower
Facing Mu Hong's question, Cao Yi quickly replied: "The day after tomorrow at the earliest, see when you can organize the candidates, it is best to be in batches, with a hundred people as a group, and go over together." ”
Mu Hong nodded, and then fell into deep thought, obviously thinking about where these two or three hundred people were going. First of all, he must be innocent, and he will not be an undercover agent from Jing Zhe's side or other forces.
Secondly, these people must be loyal and make sure that they will not betray Mu Hong and betray the Cao Gang in the future, otherwise the more capable people are, the greater the harm of betraying their Ali, just like a sting. Of course, this kind of assurance does not mean 100%, and when the chips given by others are enough in the future, there will still be people who should betray, but now when choosing people, it is still necessary to avoid traitors and spies as much as possible.
It's just that...... It's hard to decide on this candidate, first of all, if you count the members of the Yangzhou branch and the Runzhou branch, it's almost enough, but in these two places, the personnel are mixed, and I still don't know if there are any spies from Jing Zhe's side in them.
There is really no way to determine this, could it be that it is to find someone to hire such a group of young men again? In the name of the Cao Gang recruiting gangs, but these people are only long-term workers at most, not people who sell themselves, nor are they the kind of people who can serve Mu Hong to the death, and they can still leave if they want in the future.
If it took a year and wasted a lot of money to finally train them, but these people said they would leave, then wouldn't he Mu Hong have nowhere to find reason if he wanted to cry.
Mu Hong said his whole problem directly, and wanted Cao Yi or others to think about it and work together to see if they could solve these problems perfectly.
However, at the beginning, none of the personnel on Mu Hong's side could say one, two, three, four, they all looked at each other, staring at each other, and these problems were a little difficult for them.
In the end, there was no way, everyone's eyes were on Cao Yi again.
Cao Yiwan smiled and said, "Okay, in the end, it seems that I am the only one who expresses my views and opinions!" ”
"Hehe, Cao Gongzi is a promising young man, those who are capable work harder, and those who can work harder." Mu Hong echoed on the side.
"Pastoral Gang Master, first of all, your existing gangs, the Runzhou Branch and the Yangzhou Branch, select the people from these two branches who are loyal and have no problem with their identity. It doesn't matter if the foundation or skill is almost there, you can train it later. Cao Yi told eloquently.
"I think the candidates for these two branches, Hall Master Shao and Hall Master Ximen should be able to choose, after all, they are your subordinates, and they still know whether others are reliable or not!" Cao Yi looked at Ximen Ba and Shao Yangwen and asked.
The latter two nodded, indicating that there was no problem, they had been managing their respective branches for two or three years, and the brothers under their hands still knew the roots.
"But I have a suggestion, that is, if you are a new member within a month, don't choose it, Bi may be sent to monitor and undercover after Jing Zhe usurped the throne and became the gang leader." Cao Yi's words continued.
"After all, the two of you are the closest branch hall to Xicheng, it can be said that it is the left and right throats, and it is the only place to pass through Xicheng, for Jing Zhe, the strategic significance of these two places is very important, maybe others have already arranged undercover agents and spies, but they have not been discovered by you until now."
In the face of Cao Yi's words, after thinking about it, everyone nodded silently, the possibility is still very large, they have been in the Cao Gang for many years, of course, they know the importance and strategic significance of Runzhou and Yangzhou to the Cao Gang Headquarters Xicheng.
"I don't know if the people brought by the Ba Hall Master and the Wo Hall Master are reliable?" Cao Yi turned his head to look at Ba Xuyao and Wogu and asked.
"Haha, although Lao Wo and I have only brought over more than ten people, there is no problem in loyalty, they are all our own little brothers, and we will follow us for more than ten years, or four or five years, there will definitely be no problem." Ba Xuyao rarely has something to be proud of and proud of, and said with a hearty smile at the moment.
Cao Yi nodded, and said to himself: "If this is the case, then there are only more than a hundred people at most, and there is still a little gap between two and three hundred." ”
"Shepherd Gang Master, no, I should ask Lord Ximen Tang and Master Shao Tang, in Yangzhou or Runzhou, the kind of people who are thirteen or fourteen years old, preferably fifteen or sixteen years old, are there many people who can't live and sell themselves directly?" Cao Yi looked at Ximen Ba and Shao Yangwen and asked
Asked.
"In Yangzhou, there will be more girls who sell their bodies, although there are fewer men, but it is not nothing, really look for it, you should still be able to find some qualified, these people are also cheap, generally only a few dozen taels of silver to a hundred taels of silver, you can buy it directly." Ximen Ba thought for a moment and replied.
Then he glanced at Shao Yangwen: "Shao Hall Master Runzhou's side should be similar, right?" ”
Shao Yangwen nodded: "Yes, it's similar to what the master of Ximen Hall said, and the price is relatively cheap, but it is much cheaper than the woman." ”
"What does Cao Gongzi mean?" Mu Hong guessed the reason why Cao Yi asked, but he was not very sure, so he asked.
"If there is not enough manpower, I suggest that the shepherd gang master buy these people who are sold into slavery, they are all poor and accustomed to it, just for food and clothing, so when training, they can definitely persevere, and do not hide what the shepherd gang leader said, because the intensity of training is too strong, so when these people are training, I will ensure that every meal is full of fish, meat, cheese and other things to nourish the body, so for them, every day is just exercise, but they can eat so well...... So in terms of resistance, there will be a lot less problem of possible betrayal in the future, after all, the deed of sale is in your hands! Cao Yi said with a smile.
Anyway, when he founded the Taibai Secret Camp and was scarce, he relied on this method to get the personnel, but this method can't buy too much in one place, after all, no matter how rich you are, you can't buy hundreds or thousands of slaves to do things.
Therefore, Cao Yi suggested that Ximen Ba and Shao Yangwen buy part of the personnel separately in Yangzhou and Runzhou.
"Gongzi Cao is reasonable, buy them, after all, the deed of sale is in my hands, and they have the power of life and death, but it is better to control, and they are innocent, they will not be spies!" Mu Hong said after thinking for a moment.
Then he turned his head and instructed Ximen Ba and Shao Yangwen: "Ximen Ba, Shao Yangwen, you two will do this now, Yangwen, you can go back to Runzhou now, I will calculate, each place will buy sixty or seventy people, and the remaining one hundred and fifty people, I will choose from the existing gang." ”
