When the bald man saw Cao Dabiao and Pi Yingcui disappear from the woods, he hesitated, but finally did not catch up. The so-called every forest does not enter, and the poor do not chase. Cao Dabiao has a bow and arrow in his hand, and he is also afraid of being attacked.

Su Ziheng jumped out of the carriage, greeted the bald man, and arched his hand: "Su Mou, thank you for the grace of this strong man for saving his life." ”

The bald man touched the smooth head with his big hand and grinned, "You are a good person, the Sprinkle family can't see you in trouble." ”

When Su Ziheng saw the bald man speaking in a simple voice, he suddenly felt good in his heart, and asked with a smile: "The strong man is so handsome, I don't know where he is, with a high surname?" ”

"Sprinkle family Shi Meng, since he was a child, he was taken in by a senior monk of Liangzhou Baofo Temple, and later fought to Baofo Temple, and the Sprinkle family escaped with the master. On the way, the master disliked the Sprinkle family's food and said that he couldn't afford it, so let the Sprinkle family find a way to live by themselves. "Shi Meng, let's talk a lot.

Su Ziheng smiled: "Then are you willing to follow me?" ”

Shi Meng smiled, "Do you care about rice?" ”

Su Ziheng said: "Tube, not only the rice, but also the full, if you want to eat meat, it's no problem." By the way, your master is a monk, so can you eat meat? ”

What are the precepts of the monks in this world Su Ziheng is not very clear, but the monks on the earth in the previous life have very strict precepts.

Shi Meng didn't care and said, "It's okay, you can eat it." Master Sprinkle only helped me shave my hair, but did not let me become a monk. He said that I was not finished, but I guess he was afraid that I would be poor in the temple. ”

Su Ziheng laughed, looking at his size, eight feet tall, and practiced a good martial arts, if he couldn't eat meat, just vegetarian food, I'm afraid he would eat more than the people in the entire temple.

Su Ziheng is not afraid of eating too much, anyway, there is a whole base space behind him to support him, and last time he also got two warehouses of grain from Chen Wenxuan, which is tens of thousands of stones.

"Then how about you be a guard for me in the future?" Su Ziheng was in a good mood, although he suffered an assassination, but it was worth it to gain such a fierce general.

As soon as Shi Meng was about to agree, he heard his stomach growl. From yesterday to today, after more than a dozen hours, he has only drunk a few bowls of porridge. It's not that he's lazy and unwilling to look for food, but that tens of thousands of homeless people outside the city have long been swept away from what they can eat.

The fight just now seemed to be a short time, but it also consumed a small amount of energy in Shi Meng's body.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Su Ziheng laughed silently: "Shi Meng, you must have not eaten in the morning, right?" I'll tell the cook to prepare something for you. Tube full! ”

Shi Menghan laughed a few times and followed Liu Sijun to the kitchen inside the porridge shed. At this moment, someone had already been instructed to prepare a large bowl of hot porridge, as well as a basket of steamed buns and flatbread.

Liu Sijun saw that he had sacrificed his life to save Su Ziheng just now, and took out a few pieces of jerky for him from the pocket he was carrying.

After Shi Meng stretched out his hand to take it, he had a great impression of this little girl, and asked, "You are also the master of the main family?" ”

Liu Sijun nodded shyly, and Shi Meng grinned: "In the future, please take care of the little girl." ”

Although Shi Meng is burly and looks a little silly, she is not stupid, as soon as she sees that she can take out meat from her pocket, she knows that she is very favored by the master's side.

……

……

There was an assassination incident just now, which made the noisy crowd at the scene suddenly quiet, and they were all honest, and they didn't dare to be disobedient anymore, for fear that Su Ziheng would leave and stop recruiting.

Invisibly, Su Ziheng's recruitment speed was much faster. Rao was like this, recruiting a hundred guards from thousands of people, and it still took him four or five hours, and even lunch was eaten in the porridge shed.

These 100 people were carefully selected by him, in addition to being strong and strong, they were all equipped with various crafts. For example, there were several craftsmen who were skilled in blacksmithing, carpentry, and masonry; In addition, there are even more people who know how to do farm work.

In the afternoon, a few account offices were transferred from the Zhao Mansion and signed a death contract with these 100 newly recruited house slaves, and from today on, these 100 people will be regarded as members of the Su family.

It's not that Su Ziheng doesn't want to recruit more people, but the laws of Great Xia stipulate that the number of domestic slaves recruited is limited, and if there are more, there is no way to register in the government. The imperial court's move was also to prevent large families from recruiting too many domestic slaves and having too much power.

Over the centuries, however, the decree seems to be becoming less and less effective. On the surface, there are not many domestic slaves registered in the government, but in fact, no one knows how many are secretly raised.

Just like Su Ziheng this time, on the surface, he did only recruit a hundred house slaves. In fact, behind these 100 domestic slaves are their own families, in fact, they are a hundred households, and there are four or five hundred people in total.

These people all rely on Su Ziheng for food, so they naturally have to work.

……

……

Early the next morning, with the assistance of the Zhao family, a long convoy was formed and the 100 families of domestic slaves were sent to Zhaojiazhuang in Dalei Village. In order to prevent someone from plotting against each other on the road, I want to take the opportunity to rob.

Su Ziheng found Zhong Qinghan, the lord of Donghai County, and asked her to arrange an iron cavalry escort from the Black Crow Army, and moved over with Zhang Wanqing, Xiaoya and others.

A mighty team of people drove into Dalei Village, which frightened Li Baoshu, the village leader, and thought that the homeless people outside the city wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob. Later, after learning that it was Su Ziheng who moved, he breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that Li Baoshu knew that Su Ziheng would be very busy today, so he said that he would come to disturb him in a few days.

Su Ziheng originally planned to invite Leng Huo, the leader of the Black Crow Army, and the Iron Cavalry Guard to have a meal to show his gratitude, but he was rejected by Leng Huo, the leader of the Cold Face Army. Su Ziheng didn't care either, and remembered this love on Zhong Qinghan.

……

Zhao Chengwen knew that Su Ziheng had no experience in managing hundreds of people, so he specially arranged the housekeeper Zhao Fu to help Su Ziheng settle down first. Under Zhao Fu's arrangement, everything was in order and there was no chaos at all.

Su Ziheng and Zhang Wanqing were by Zhao Fu's side and asked him for management skills. In the future, these things will need to be taken care of by the Su family themselves, instead of relying on Zhao Fu for help.

The last time Su Ziheng came to Zhao's Zhuangzi, he asked the steward Qian Lu if he was willing to stay? After this period of consideration, Qian Lu had already agreed to Su Ziheng's invitation, officially transferred from Zhao Mansion to Su Mansion, and became a housekeeper.

"Don't stand there stupidly, you guys, go to the kitchen and help. Today, the lord came over on the first day, and he can't leave a bad impression on him. In addition, there are four or five hundred people waiting to eat in the Zhuangzi, and they all give me a little bit of dexterity. ”

Qian Lu commanded several servants on the original Zhuangzi, hoping to earn a good performance in front of the new master.

Su Ziheng nodded with satisfaction, although he didn't know much about Qian Lu's ability, he was very satisfied with Qian Lu's attitude towards him. If you don't have enough ability, you can cultivate it slowly, and if you don't have a good attitude, you can't be helped.

"Uh-huh! Yang Lun, how is your sister-in-law's cooking skills? It's better to let your sister-in-law choose a few acquaintances among this group of female dependents this time, and make the food good during this time. ”

Zhaojiazhuang, oh no, it should be renamed Sujiazhuang now, it is the time when a hundred wastes are waiting to be rebuilt. Su Ziheng wanted to gather them together for training so that they could be used as escorts, in this case, it was naturally more cost-effective to eat a big pot of rice than to let them go back to their respective small families to cook.
