Chapter 36: Forming a Family Team
Lu Yuan returned to the Lu family with Uncle Fei and Shen Guangzu.
Lu's mother was naturally happy when she learned that Lu Yuan and Tang Ying were going to get married on October 15, after all, her son now not only has a maid but also a wife, which means that she is more likely to hold her grandson.
Lu Yuan took this opportunity to take a look at Erniu, and saw that she was sweeping the courtyard for a while, fetching water and watering the flowers for a while, and wiping the table for a while, she seemed to be busy and didn't want to rest for a while, and finally came to herself: "Young master, change your clothes, the slave maid will wash and dry you." ”
"I just wore it, what to wash, you rest, I haven't seen you diligent in the past, why are you working so hard today, is it because I'm going to get married, I'm not happy?"
Lu Yuan asked.
The second girl panicked, the roots of her ears were so red that she was about to drip blood, and hurriedly threw the clothes she had just held into the wooden bucket to draw water: "No, young master, it is a happy event for you to marry your grandmother, and it is too late to be happy." ”
Lu Yuan walked over and grabbed Erniu's soft hand, and with the other hand, he held Erniu's fair-skinned duck egg face: "What kind of lie, are you happy to throw the clothes that have just been washed and dried back into the barrel to wash?" ”
The second girl struggled to break free of Lu Yuan's hand, and some didn't dare to look at Lu Yuan's eyes, so she only got up and prepared to leave with her clothes.
"Stop!"
Lu Yuan roared.
The second girl shuddered for a moment, then turned around, and before she knew it, her mouth had been deflated, and tears couldn't stop coming out of her eyes.
"Young master, you are so fierce!"
Lu Yuan saw that the second girl was crying, and he couldn't say anything, so he just walked over and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of the second girl's eyes: "Fool, if you're not happy, why pretend to be virtuous in front of me, my mother is to let you be my favorite concubine, not to let you be my wife." ”
As soon as Lu Yuan said this, the second girl became even more sad.
Lu Yuan also realized that he seemed to have made a mistake, and he didn't know how to persuade him for a while, so he had to take out a purse on his body, although it was given by Tang Ying at the time, but it was useless to leave it on himself, so he handed it to Erniu: "This is for you, don't cry!" ”
The second girl took it and giggled after a while.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan pinched Erniu's tender face: "What are you laughing at, it's just a purse, don't be in a hurry to do these housework, I have to teach you some knowledge now, and then I can take over your father's class." ”
"Ah, pick up my dad's class?"
The second girl's eyes widened in disbelief.
"That's right, Uncle Fei's martial arts can't be wasted, although my father rescued him from the refugees who entered the customs and made him a house slave, he also wronged him, with his ability, he shouldn't be just a housekeeper! I plan to let him help me take care of the family, you have to help me control the business, and when your grandmother enters the door, let her share some of it, my Lu family doesn't raise idlers. ”
Lu Yuan took Erniu's hand as he spoke: "Come in with me!" ”
Erniu didn't know what to say, and she didn't understand what Lu Yuan meant, but she also knew that the young master would do whatever she wanted, after all, she was already the young master's person.
Lu Yuan actually had the idea of teaching Erniu literacy and mathematics for a long time, after all, the entire Lu family, except for his mother, he trusted Uncle Fei and Erniu the most.
Now that the Lu family is getting bigger step by step, it is obviously inappropriate for the second girl to stay in the house and be a girl who can only warm the bed and fold the quilt.
Erniu grew up with Uncle Fei since she was a child, and she didn't understand anything, so when Lu Yuan taught Erniu, Erniu accepted it very quickly.
Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the second girl herself is more clever.
Although the marriage is decided now, for Lu Yuan, this is not an excuse worth relaxing.
In order to survive well in this troubled world in the future, he still has to focus on building up his own power.
After lunch, Lu Yuan asked Uncle Fei to call Shen Guangzu and others, and after paying Shen Guangzu and others, Lu Yuan arranged Shen Guangzu to the south room and shared a room with the fifth and sixth children.
Then, Lu Yuan asked Uncle Fei to go to his weaving team and select ten young men who were strong and willing to become the Lu family's family.
Lu Yuan didn't directly recruit Shen Guangzu's people as family members at first, although Shen Guangzu's people worked on the docks all year round and were more brave and ruthless.
But Lu Yuan was worried that these people were all relatives and friends of Shen Guangzu, and once they became his own family members, he was only afraid that he would nominally take money and food to support him, and he was afraid that he would still become Shen Guangzu's private soldiers in the future.
The weavers are different, they are all their own neighbors and friends, they are closer to themselves, more loyal to themselves, and they have no emotional ties with Shen Guangzu.
Therefore, Lu Yuan's initial team of family members decided to focus on the weavers of his own weaving workshop.
The weavers of the Lu family are also willing to become the Lu family's family members, after all, the family members have higher incomes and do not have to work hard.
Soon, Uncle Fei selected ten weavers with reliable and sturdy character for Lu Yuansai.
Lu Yuan also brought Shen Guangzu, Xiao Wu, and Liu Wazi here.
In addition to Shen Guangzu, Lu Yuan asked Xiao Wu and Liuwazi to join the family team, and a total of twelve people stood in front of him in a row.
Then, Lu Yuan gave a lecture, and the content of the lecture was nothing more than that his Lu family now has a big business and needs the manpower of the hospital, and then as long as everyone protects the Lu family, it is equivalent to protecting their own home, and there will be many benefits and so on.
Lu Yuan naturally can't say anything now, and he will take them to fight the world against the Tartars in the future.
In that case, Lu Yuan believed that he would only scare these people away.
And it is precisely because Lu Yuan only said that he wanted these families to protect the Lu family's industry now, and these families really responded positively and expressed their willingness to protect the Lu family.
After all, they are all dependent on the Lu family now.
Lu Yuan knew that he couldn't expect these family members to understand what faith they sacrificed for doctrine now, and it was already very good that these family members were willing to protect their Lu family.
Lu Yuan was already satisfied with this, and redistributed these family members to form two clans, each with six people.
Among them, each team has a captain.
Of course, nominally each Wu is six people, but in fact, the Wu Chang can only manage five people, because Xiao Wu and Liuwazi are their own personal guards, and they have to follow them every day, just to occupy a place in the family.
"Uncle Fei, from now on, you will serve as the captain of the Jiading team, and you will also serve as the captain of the first team, Shen Guangzu, you will be the deputy team leader and the captain of the second team!"
Lu Yuan did not let Shen Guangzu himself serve as the leader of the Jiading team, but still let Uncle Fei serve as the team.
After all, compared to Shen Guangzu, Uncle Fei is more worthy of his trust.
This is also the reason why he is ready to let Erniu take over some of Uncle Fei's work, he plans to let Uncle Fei transfer to the military, and he has had this idea for a long time.
Uncle Fei also seemed to know what Lu Yuan wanted to do, but he didn't object, and simply agreed.
Lu Yuan then asked the carpenters of Chunguang Machinery Company to make twelve white-pole long sticks as weapons for these families.
At the moment, he is just a civilian, and directly using knives, guns and firearms will naturally arouse other people's ideas, so Lu Yuan chose a long stick as a weapon for his family.
After all, the long stick can also practice assassination, and in the future, as long as he obtains the official body, he can directly add the spearhead when he trains the army, and his own family members can directly become spearmen.
White poles are poles made of ash trees, which are known to be flexible and strong.
Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers became famous for being good at using white pole guns.
Lu Yuan naturally wouldn't let his family's equipment be too poor.
And Uncle Fei and Shen Guangzu still each have a knife, after all, the two of them are now the heads of the family.
The control of the people of the Ming Dynasty is not as strict as before, and the control of swords is not as strict as that of bows and arrows and firearms, so only Uncle Fei and Shen Guangzu brought knives, and Lu Yuan didn't feel anything.
