Chapter 109: Appointment
Xu Xian stayed in Qiantang County for ten days, recruiting four talents and a financial manager as a staff member, as well as five or six guards.
The four talents are named Shen Hao, Wei Dong, Lu Bin and He Yu, all of whom are in their forties, and they feel that the imperial examination is hopeless, and they are unwilling to do nothing in their lives, so they simply become staff members and display their ambitions through Xu Xian.
Qiantang County is full of humanities, there are a lot of talents, in the past ten days, there are more than a dozen talents who came to recruit staff, and Xu Xian chose the best.
The reason why so many showmen came to apply for the recruitment was mainly because these showmen took a fancy to Xu Xian's young age and promising future, and the tide would rise in the future, so there was no possibility of getting Xu Xian's sponsorship as an official.
The financial management expert is called Liu Bao, who has studied for ten years and is a child (that is, he passed the government examination). Although he has an average talent for reading, he is sensitive to numbers, and takes care of his family's business very well. It stands to reason that Liu Bao has no problem being a rich man, but he is also unwilling and longs for a bigger platform to display.
As for the guards, they were basically collected through Li Gongfu's recommendation.
In addition, Huang Chong, who escorted Xu Xian to Bianjing last time, also came to respond. Xu Xian recognized Huang Chong's adaptability and experience in the rivers and lakes, and promised him a captain of the guard.
After recruiting staff and guards, Xu Xian finally started on the road and went to Yanshan County to take up his post.
One team, six carriages, plus five good horses, a luxurious lineup.
As soon as he left the realm of Lin'an Mansion, he attracted robbers.
However, the five ghosts used a little skill and easily defeated a group of robbers.
Including Shen Hao, Liu Bao and other staff, Huang Chong and other guards couldn't help but smack their tongues: "The servants of the owner are too powerful, right?" Any one of them is the top master of Qiantang County! ”
For a while, they had more respect for Xu Xian and more confidence.
Because of the urgency of time, Xu Xian and the others hurried all the way.
More than ten days later, the team passed through Dujiazhai, which had been waiting for a long time.
"Lord Xu, this is my sworn brother, Du Yong, the second master of Dujiazhai." Du Yongnan introduced Xu Xian to a burly and muscular man.
The man immediately bowed down to Xu Xian and said, "Meet Lord Xu." ”
Xu Xian stretched out his hand to help him up and looked at Du Yong. I saw that although Du Yong was not as majestic as Du Yongnan, he was also a tower-like figure, with blazing eyes and a bit extraordinary.
Du Yongnan said: "The first batch of personnel in Dujiazhai was led by Du Yong to follow behind the adults. ”
Next, Du Yongnan continued to introduce several important people who accompanied him on this migration.
"Xu Xian." Du Ruolan appeared in front of Xu Xian in a sassy dress, staring at Xu Xian without shying away.
She is very tall, with a flat head with Xu Xian, although her appearance is pretty, but there is a wildness on her body, which is completely different from ordinary women.
Du Yongnan immediately reprimanded: "Ruolan, don't be rude, call your lord!" ”
"Master Du Zhai doesn't have to be so serious." Xu Xian waved his hand with a smile and said, "I was in a coma in bed at the beginning, thanks to Sister Ruolan taking care of me. I tried to treat her like a sister, and if she asked me to be an adult, it would be too raw. ”
"Hee-hee, did Dad hear that?" Du Ruolan made a smug face at Du Yongnan, and then said to Xu Xian, "I'm going to go on the road with you too." ”
Xu Xian smiled and nodded: "Okay." On the way, your sister-in-law's safety will be left to you. ”
"No problem!" Du Ruolan patted her chest and smiled, "I like to play with Sister Zhen and Sister Rong the most." ”
Du Yongnan said to Xu Xian a little helplessly: "Lord Xu, Ruolan has you to take care of it." ”
After staying in Dujiazhai for half a day and a night, Xu Xian led the team to continue on the road the next day.
Coming out of Dujiazhai, the team has grown several times.
The first time they migrated, the people of Dujiazhai who went to Yanshan County with Xu Xian were basically young and strong.
After all, even Xu Xian didn't know what the specific situation was in Yanshan County, how dare Dujiazhai take the liberty of moving the old and weak women and children over at once. This group of young men are all outposts to find their way.
When cooking and eating at noon, Shen Hao Weidong and the other four staff members looked for Xu Xian, and proposed to Xu Xian with a little expectation on their faces: "My lord, Dujiazhai is a young and strong person, tall and powerful, usually wielding guns and sticks, loyal and reliable, why don't you take them in as a force to deter Yanshan County?" ”
Xu Xian did not hide anything from his staff about the situation in Yanshan County, so they all knew that the situation in Yanshan County was bad, and even the county magistrate was worried about his life.
Xu Xian smiled and nodded: "Good proposal, there will be activities for you." ”
In fact, he had this idea when he first saw the young and strong Dujiazhai. Since Shen Haoweidong and others proposed to make a plan, he pushed the boat down the river and let Shen Haoweidong and others do it for him.
"That's our duty." Shen Hao, Weidong and the others arched their hands with a smile on their faces.
Knowing the chaos in Yanshan County, they are still willing to follow, which shows that they are all people who want to do things. Xu Xian trusted and let go so much from the beginning, and they were naturally happy.
Yanshan County is not only in the north, but also in the north of Bianjing, and belongs to Hejian Province.
Therefore, after Xu Xian picked up a group of young people in Dujiazhai, he continued to hurry up.
Of course, the team is growing and the speed of travel is affected, except for a few important people in Dujiazhai who have cars and horses, the other young people are on foot.
However, Dujiazhai's young and strong people are really good, and they didn't pull down much of the speed of the road by relying on their two legs.
Finally, with ten days left before the deadline, Xu Xian's team finally stepped into the territory of Yanshan County.
Entering Yanshan County, Xu Xian saw a barren area, and there were some houses scattered on the barrenness, but they were all damaged and collapsed, and there were no people.
"What a piece of land." Xu Xian sighed a little.
Although Yanshan County has a mountain character in its name, most of it is plain, and many of them can be reclaimed as cultivated land. According to Xu Xian's previous life, the place in Yanshan County is a treasure land, facing the area near the Bohai Sea in the east and connecting Beijing and Tianjin in the west.
It's a pity that the times are different, and the treasure land has become a barren land.
The province borders on the alien regimes in the north and has never been the focus of the development of the Dasheng Kingdom. Moreover, the northern alien tribes invaded and plundered in the south, and the attack portal included the area of Hejian Province, and the wars between the Dasheng Kingdom and the northern alien races sometimes occurred in the territory of Hejian Province.
After the northern aliens conquered the north, Hejian Province, including Yanshan County, was subjected to the bloodbath of the northern aliens.
"Yes, although it is not as good as Jiangnan, such a flat and fertile land is rare in Dasheng Kingdom." Shen Hao, Wei Zhong and other staff members standing behind Xu Xian echoed.
However, their eyes were not sad, but excited, excited like a flame.
In addition to the staff, Du Yong and other young people in Dujiazhai were all excited when they looked at such a flat land and such a gratifying growth of wild grass.
Because Xu Xian had promised them that as long as they moved to Yanshan County, each household in Dujiazhai would be allocated a minimum of ten acres of land. There is no shortage of labor in Dujiazhai, but there is a shortage of land for pickpocketing.
