Chapter 161: Recruitment
Cheng Chuliang hurriedly replied: "During this time, Chang'an has transported 100,000 prisoners of war, not only the pressure on the city defense, but also the pressure on the control of various families. So on a whim, my dad formed a team of veterans to help families manage prisoners of war, while also finding a way out for veterans. But now there are too few non-disabled veterans to be enough, so I have to bring people here to try my luck and see if I can recruit more reliable people. ”
In this regard, the eldest grandson Wuji has the most right to speak, his family originally controlled the iron ore mining of the Tang Dynasty, and now has established two new steel mills, which have a great demand for workers, not only buying 10,000 Turkic prisoners of war, but also booking 15,000 prisoners of war in the Western Regions. And there are only more than 300 people in their own family, even counting miscellaneous servants and maids, how can this be managed? The eldest grandson Wuji first gathered the members of his family, regardless of whether it was a partial house or a branch, as long as it was the whole recall of the eldest grandson to assign tasks within the clan.
Even so, there are still not enough manpower, and he is a civil official, not like a military general, and he can't manage it by his own family alone. At this time, Cheng Biting Jin appeared, and as soon as he made a move, he was 50 parts plus 200 veterans, and in just a few days, he managed the 10,000 prisoners of war of the eldest grandson Wuji tightly and orderly, and the production efficiency was greatly improved. Happy eldest grandson Wuji personally sent two carriages to Cheng Yanjin to burn knives.
The generals also fell one after another, and various security firms sprung up like mushrooms, not only responsible for guarding prisoners of war, but also responsible for long-distance escorts, personal protection and other operations. Among them, the Qin family's "Zhiyuan Dart Bureau", the Cheng family's "gold-biting security", and the Wei Chi family's "worry-free security" are the most. The former relies on the face of the second brother to be the most reliable in long-distance escort, and the former green forest heroes everywhere and the current high-speed service personnel, which one sees the "Qin" dart flag and does not go out of the village for thirty miles to greet him? Along the way, good wine and meat are served, not only free of charge, but also upside down labor and meal money. Qin Shubao is also a man with a true temperament, and he must leave a lot of silver everywhere he goes, resulting in his dart game being very famous and having the most people, but making the least money.
And Cheng Yanjin and Yu Chi Jingde are much more comfortable in comparison. The two conspired to tie Wenyi, who had just clocked out of work, back to the cellar and forced him to question the operation of the security company. As a result, a set of site security plans with "ideological transformation as the core and force support as the basis" appeared. Bite the gold security and worry-free security not only recruit a large number of skilled warriors, but also recruit a wide range of eloquent and eloquent talents, Xu with a high salary to specialize in the ideological transformation of prisoners of war, to establish "the land of the world belongs to the Tang Dynasty, the people of the world are the Tang Dynasty" thinking, and give examples to prove that the Turks are not Turkic countries but a Chinese nation since ancient times, and our Tang Dynasty is not a national war, but a contradiction between brothers.
But if you make a mistake, you still have to bear the consequences, and as the initiator of the war, it is very natural to work for 10 years. What's more, your wives and children in Kannai Province are still receiving the food we distributed. Therefore, you should be more active and strive to complete self-redemption as soon as possible.
Talented scholars compiled a few more labor songs, not to mention that the ideological work of these scholars was quite successful, and the enthusiasm of these prisoners of war was unprecedentedly high, which made the patriarchs who were still worried a lot more relieved.
Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to praise Cheng Chuliang a few words, but there was a jaw-dropping scene in front of him: a young man wearing a patch cover and washed white cedar staggered to the city wall. As soon as I got to a recruitment office, several nearby recruiters instantly surrounded me, and one person stuffed a leaflet and shouted scramblingly: "Brother Tai is looking for a job?" I am the steward of the Li family, recruiting the account room, with a monthly salary of five taels, including food and accommodation! "This gentleman, I am the housekeeper of the Boling Cui family, recruiting the account office, with a monthly salary of seven taels, and six days off and one off!" ...
Cheng Chuliang suddenly couldn't sit still when he saw this posture, and he had to endure himself in front of Li Shimin, but the anxious look on his face was undoubted.
Li Shimin looked funny, and said casually: "Chu Liang, you can go if you want, it's hard to find good talents in this year, don't miss it because of a few of us." ”
Cheng Chuliang was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed over with a shout, and as soon as he got out of the pergola, his voice was raised: "My Jeju Cheng family recruits Mr. Teacher, and the monthly money is ten taels!" Don't fight with me! Sir, come here, behave well, my dad can help you write a letter of recommendation! ”
The scholar's eyes lit up, and he was about to walk towards Cheng Chuliang, but he was grabbed by the arm of a person behind him, only to see that the man hurriedly said: "Brother Tai, don't believe him, his father is Cheng Guogong, the general of the left leading army, what is the effect of his recommendation?" Could it be that you can't join the army? I am Wei Shuyu, the son of Wei Zheng, the prime minister of the dynasty, recruiting architectural painters, with a monthly salary of ten taels. Wouldn't it be nice to have my dad write a letter of recommendation for you? ”
The scholar paused, and reincarnated and said, "Student Chen Yuan, who happens to be good at painting, can you talk about it in detail?" ”
Wei Shuyu smiled brightly and stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Chen, please come here." ”
Cheng Chuliang stopped doing it, hurriedly took two steps forward and grabbed Chen Yuan's right hand: "Sir, don't worry, painting is very good, my father's letter of recommendation is useless, but my father knows a lot of big people in the court, I will give you whoever you want." Besides, wouldn't it be better to teach and review better, and to integrate what you have learned? ”
The scholar was sandwiched between the two, and you and I were very entangled in what I said, and it was difficult to make a conclusion. The other stewards deliberately stepped forward to get involved, and the eldest prince of the Wei family was okay to say, but the second prince of the Cheng family was not such a reasonable person, didn't he see the two powerful family members next to him staring at them fiercely? The one who didn't have long eyes last time was already in bed, and they didn't dare try those two guys' fists again. In desperation, he had to disperse and continue his work.
Cheng Chuliang saw that this guy was hesitant, so anxious that his brain was sweating, and he raised his fist to punch Wei Shuyu in the face, and Wei Shuyu screamed and fell to the ground. Cheng Chuliang smiled "hehe" and pulled Chen Yuan to run.
Cheng Chuliang was very measured, Wei Shuyu looked miserable but there was no big problem, he got up from the ground and chased after him. The two tugged and pulled back under the pergola.
Wei Zheng coughed vigorously, and the two of them realized that today was different from the past, there was a big man here, and he didn't dare to mess around like in the past.
Wei Shuyu was about to step forward to find his father to comment, Du Ruhui spoke: "Why don't the two virtuous nephews fight over and listen to the opinions of this descendant?" What if he already had a heart? Have you not worked in vain? ”
After appeasing the two, Du Ruhui said to Chen Yuan again: "This junior, why don't you introduce yourself first?" ”
Chen Yuan is also a smart person, and those who can call Wei Shuyu and Cheng Liangxian's nephews must also be members of the dynasty, and he said at the moment: "Chen Yuan's family lives in Yicheng County, Qizhou, and he studied hard for ten years but fell off the list last year, and his family is almost poor. Ashamed, ashamed. ”
Li Shimin said with a smile: "You came at the right time, you just entered the city and met two people who are thirsty for talent, I don't know which one you like?" ”
Chen Yuan said helplessly: "Hou Sheng was willing to engage with Wei Gongzi, but he was forcibly dragged here by Cheng Gongzi and disturbed several nobles. ”
Wei Zheng was very happy to hear that he chose his son, but the hypocrisy of the scholar made him ask: "Although his father is the prime minister of the dynasty, he is selfless and iron-faced, and his letter of recommendation is not easy to get." And the Cheng family is different, whoever you want, Cheng Lao can get it for you. ”
Chen Yuan shook his head and said: "The next life is not for the letter of recommendation, I like to paint, and I am good at painting landscape architecture, compared to the imperial examination, it is really difficult." The title of the gold list is that I don't want to think about it, and now I only think about how to support my family and serve my elderly mother. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said: "Filial piety comes first, and the eldest husband does it." ”
As soon as Wei Shuyu heard that he had chosen, he was immediately overjoyed, and after saluting several bigwigs, he was about to pull Chen Yuanzhi away. Chen Yuan came to Cheng Chuliang and said: "Thank you Cheng Gongzi for your love, I still know a few classmates who are still studying hard at home, why don't I repair a book and ask them to come and help you." ”
Cheng Chuliang's face suddenly turned cloudy, and he hurriedly agreed, and he was so happy that his big hand like a fan slapped Chen Yuan's teeth for a while. After this incident, Li Shimin didn't stay long, and after drinking a cup of Longjing, which was not very good, he continued to wander around with the big guys.
