After the two returned to the guest hall, Chen Qun looked at Liu Bei and said, "Big brother, do you have something important to do when you come to see Uncle Lu?" ”

Liu Bei bit his lip when he heard this: "I'm here to say goodbye to my teacher, this time I heard that Jizhou is the hardest hit area of the Yellow Turban, so I plan to go back to my hometown to see, if my husband can't serve the country while he's alive, then I have to keep my small family." ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun nodded and said: "What the eldest brother said is reasonable, since the eldest brother wants to go back to Jizhou, the younger brother still has 14,000 yuan here, and the eldest brother will take it back with him." It's a pity that the younger brother didn't bring too much money when he came out, otherwise he could give more to the eldest brother. ”

Chen Qun said and took out the existing coins on his body and handed them to Liu Bei. Although this money is only one ten-thousandth of cash for Chen Qun now, it is a great wealth for Liu Bei.

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly got up and refused: "Brother Yi, how can the eldest brother ask for your money?" Take it back. ”

Chen Qun said with a straight face: "Big brother, Jizhou has a long way to go, and the road is dangerous, you have to use it on the road, this money is nothing to the younger brother, you can use it." Besides, after you return to Jizhou, there are many places where you need money, but unfortunately there is only so much that my little brother can help you now. ”

Liu Bei saw the sincerity of what Chen Qun said, so he no longer pushed back, took the money and put it in the secret pocket of his clothes and hugged Chen Qun and said: "Righteous brother, then the eldest brother is no longer polite." ”

Chen Qun nodded: "The eldest brother will be a person who will do great things in the future, and this little money does not need to be remembered." ”

Liu Bei smiled slightly: "Okay, Changwen, the eldest brother has already seen the teacher, so I won't wait for him anymore, and when the teacher comes back, you will say goodbye to the teacher for me, and the eldest brother will leave first." ”

Chen Qun nodded: "Okay, big brother, please rest assured, I will definitely say goodbye to Uncle Lu for my eldest brother, and take care of my eldest brother all the way." ”

Liu Bei clasped his fist at Chen Qun and turned to leave. Chen Qun sent Liu Bei out of the gate of the Lu Mansion and said goodbye to Liu Bei again.

In the evening, after Lu Zhi returned to the Lu Mansion, he said to Chen Qun excitedly: "Changwen, the matter is done, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun have both accepted the mission, and they have already recognized the emperor's order as the master. ”

Chen Qun looked at Lu Zhi's excited appearance and was also in ecstasy, he had already noticed it when Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun recognized the emperor's order as the main one, and after confirming it at this time, he said happily: "Great! Thanks to Uncle Lu's nephew, he was able to find such two good helpers. By the way, uncle, my eldest brother Liu Bei is gone, and before he leaves, let me say goodbye to you on his behalf. ”

Lu Zhi frowned and looked at Chen Qun when he heard this: "Your eldest brother Liu Bei?" What's going on? ”

Chen Qun smiled and said, "Uncle, my nephew can talk to Liu Bei, so I will bow to him!" The nephew thinks that Liu Bei is a person who does big things. ”

Lu Zhi frowned when he heard this, and looked at Chen Qun: "Changwen, you must have a deep meaning in doing this, since you don't want to say it, then the uncle won't ask more." It's just that Liu Bei is a person, you should pay attention. ”

When Chen Qun heard this, he knew that Lu Zhi had a prejudice against Liu Bei, and looked at Lu Zhi's eyes and smiled slightly: "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew knows it." By the way, uncle, if it's okay for the past two days, you can rest first and wait for the situation to develop. When the Taiping Rebellion breaks out, you will be useful. ”

Lu Zhi nodded when he heard this: "Okay, the three of us will keep an eye on the progress of the matter at any time, and we will contact you in time if there is something." ”

Chen Qun nodded: "Okay uncle, it's not too early, my nephew will go back to rest first." I also have two younger sisters at home, and I am worried about their safety. ”

Lu Zhi nodded, and Chen Qun bowed to Lu Zhi and left the Lu Mansion.

When Chen Qun got home, it was late, Li Bing'er and Tang Rong climbed on the bed together to eat snacks, and when they saw Chen Qun coming back, the second daughter came to Chen Qun's side happily, and Tang Rong hugged Chen Qun.

Chen Qun picked up Tang Rong and looked at Li Bing'er: "Bing'er, are you okay at home?" Did anything happen? ”

Li Bing'er shook her head: "No, cousin, we are very good at home." There was so much delicious food that we stayed at home and didn't go out. ”

Chen Qun nodded: "That's good, brother really doesn't worry about you two staying at home." Tomorrow, Brother will go to the barracks to find General Xu and see if he has found the right manpower. ”

Li Bing'er nodded and didn't speak, she looked at Tang Rong in Chen Qun's arms with envy in her eyes.

After Chen Qun noticed the look in Li Bing'er's eyes, he thought that Li Bing'er was thirteen years old, and if he wanted to take care of Li Bing'er, the best way was to meet Li Bing'er's survival skills, so Chen Qun began to think about what to teach Li Bing'er to learn.

After thinking for a while, Chen Qun felt that he should let Li Bing'er practice both inside and outside, that is, to learn to read and hyphenation, and to learn a skill to make a living, he could personally teach him to read and hyphenation, but the ability to make a living, Chen Qun thought it was good to let Li Bing'er learn to cook. After all, it is extremely rare to be able to cook a good meal in this era.

After Chen Qun made a decision in his heart, he looked at Li Bing'er: "Bing'er, brother plans to teach you literacy and cooking in the future, are you willing to learn?" ”

Li Bing'er was overjoyed when she heard this: "Yes, yes!" Bing'er is very willing! But cousin, how do you teach me to cook? Do you know how to cook? ”

Chen Qun looked at Li Bing'er's suspicious eyes and smiled: "Bing'er, brother is not blowing with you, brother's cooking skills are definitely the top in the world, you can follow my brother to study hard in the future." ”

Li Bing'er lowered her head and smiled slightly when she heard this: "Brother, Bing'er really wants to study, but no one has taught her before." ”

Chen Qun patted his chest after putting down Tang Rong: "Don't worry, tomorrow morning, after our morning exercise, my brother will start teaching you and Tang Rong to learn pinyin, yes, it is pinyin, and then learn literacy." ”

"Okay cousin!" Li Bing'er looked at Chen Qundao with bright eyes.

Chen Qun nodded: "I'm tired today, let's rest early!" ”

There was nothing to say all night, after sunrise on the second day, Chen Qun got up on time, he took Li Bing'er and Tang Rong After the morning exercise, Chen Qun began to teach Li Bing'er and Tang Rong to learn pinyin, and after teaching the second daughter for a while, Chen Qun asked the second daughter to remember it well, and he went out to buy breakfast. Fortunately, the house that Tang Zhou bought was not a slum area, and it was not far from the downtown area, so Chen Qun went directly to the wine store with his lunch box to buy some side dishes to bring back.

Chen Qun originally planned to meet Xu Shao in the morning to see if he had found a suitable manpower, but he didn't expect Li Bing'er to be so eager to learn, he taught for a morning, and Li Bing'er studied for a morning, and learned everything. Especially when Chen Qun saw Li Bing'er learn to write the first word, that kind of excited look, Chen Qunlen put down what he was doing and continued to teach Li Bing'er to learn literacy.

After lunch, Chen Qun asked Li Bing'er to review what she had learned in the morning at home and take care of Tang Rong, while she went to the shooting camp alone to find Xu Shao.

After Chen Qun saw Xu Shao, he hugged his fists and said before he could ask Xu Shao: "My lord, the subordinates you want have found fifteen people, but only fifteen people can be found at present, and the others do not meet the requirements you put forward. These fifteen people have similar skills, and they are definitely all good hands. There is no problem for one person to deal with a dozen ordinary practitioners. ”

Chen Qun was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is so powerful! Not bad! Brother Xu, I'm so relieved! It seems that Brother Xu is really the right person for this matter. ”

Xu Shaoyan looked at Chen Qun with a smile on his face: "My lord praised it falsely!" In this kind of world, even if you have good skills, it is not easy to find a good job. ”

Chen Qun nodded, then looked at Xu Shao and frowned, "I wonder if Brother Xu can explain my situation to them clearly?" ”

Xu Shao nodded: "Of course, but these fifteen people heard that you hired fifteen people at once, and they didn't say anything." These fifteen people also know each other on weekdays, and they are famous in this area, but they are unwilling to do things for the government and join the army, so they will agree to the employment of adults. Most of them think about following the adults for a while. If you want to keep them, I'm afraid you'll have to put some thought into it. ”

Chen Qun nodded: "Hiring them is also a temporary measure, and I will see when I find someone later." ”

Xu Shao looked at Chen Qun's thoughtful expression and nodded: "My lord, then let's go find them now?" ”

Chen Qun thought that the Yellow Turban Uprising was afraid that it had only been in the past two days, so he nodded immediately: "Of course, the sooner the better!" ”

Xu Shao then got up and hugged his fists and said, "Then the lord waits, wait for the subordinates to gather them together and meet the lord together." ”

"Okay, there's Brother Lao Xu!" Chen Qun stood up and returned the salute with his fists.

Xu Shao then turned around and left. He made some arrangements and returned again.

An hour later, a soldier came in to report that the matter assigned by Xu Shao had been completed, so Chen Qun and Xu Shao walked together to the concentration place that Xu Shao had settled, which was not far from the military camp, in the wine shop where Chen Ji had stayed before.

After Chen Qun and Xu Shao entered the wine shop, they saw more than a dozen men gathering at a table to drink, so Xu Shao took Chen Qun to join them.

After a glass of wine, Xu Shao smiled and said to everyone: "Brothers, this is your future owner, Yingchuan Chen Qun and Chen Changwen, although I told you a lot before, but what about Changwen and others?" It depends on the brothers' own decisions, and now you can ask questions if you have questions. ”

At this time, a soldier hurriedly ran in from outside and came to Xu Shao's side and hugged his fists and said: "My lord, Jizhou Taiping Road is in rebellion, and several county towns have been attacked, and the lord is ordered to return to the camp quickly." ”

Xu Shao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then hurriedly hugged his fists to everyone and said, "Brothers, I'm really sorry!" The military order is like a mountain, so I won't accompany you in the next place, you should have good contact with Brother Chen. Leave! ”

"Brother Xu, please!"

"Military affairs first!"

"Thank you, Brother Xu!"

……

Everyone said goodbye to Xu Shao.

After Xu Shao left, everyone frowned and remained silent, obviously everyone was shocked by the information they had just gotten.

Seeing this, Chen Qun said in a deep voice: "Brothers, everyone come back to their senses first, the Taiping Dao rebellion is a matter of time, let's talk about the matter between us, I don't know if the brothers are willing to accept my employment?" ”

"Brother Changwen, I want to ask, are you sure to give each of us thirty dollars every month?"

Hearing this, Chen Qun looked at a young man who was about the same age as himself and shook his head slightly: "That is the price I told General Xu before, but now that the situation has changed, there is a rebellion in Taiping Road in Jizhou, so this price has to be mentioned again."

According to the price agreed with General Xu before, I will give each of you a remuneration of no less than 500 yuan a year, and now I have decided to quadruple this remuneration, not less than 2,000 yuan per person per year, and the high skill can be further increased, the specific amount I will determine according to the performance and merit of the brothers, if there is an accident, I will directly pay your family hardware remuneration, what do you brothers think? ”

"Hiss~" Everyone gasped when they heard this, and everyone was moved by the high price that Chen Qun was in.

"Brother Changwen, can you tell me what you asked us to do?" The young man from earlier continued to ask.

"Brother Yuanzhi, the owner has already put the price so high, do we still need to manage the owner to let us do anything? I think you can do whatever you do! A bearded man said loudly.

"That's right! Right! Right! Whatever we did, we did it! The price of hardware is enough for our family to live a good life. The crowd shouted.
