Chapter 042: Candidates for the Guard
Chen Qun and the three of them stood outside the gate of the Tang Mansion and saw that the gate of the Tang Mansion had been burned down, and the Tang Mansion was full of ruins and broken walls, leaving only the walls standing everywhere. The walls are also inlaid with remnants of burned windows.
After Chen Qun, Zhao Yun, and Li Bing'er stepped on the debris and turned around the Tang Mansion along the road, Chen Qun sighed: "What a sin!" A good building was burned by the bandits! ”
Zhao Yun nodded: "Although most of this building has been burned down, this place is really big enough, and it is no problem to pack up and live for three or five hundred people." This is the right place to be the back-up for your liquor shop. ”
Chen Qun's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he couldn't help frowning again when he thought that Dong Zhuo would burn Luoyang again in a few years: "Master, your idea is good, but how much will it cost to rebuild this place?" The apprentice's current funds are not allowed to be squandered indiscriminately. The apprentice thinks that it is better to open more liquor stores if he has money. ”
Li Bing'er frowned and said, "Cousin, in fact, it doesn't cost too much money to repair this place, if it is according to the master's idea, this place is used as the logistics of the wine shop, I think it is okay." You see there are a lot of houses here, although the houses have been burned down, but the walls are still there, we only need to build the roof on the original wall, and clean up the windows to be able to live in it, and there is no need to build a good house. And even then, it was much better than the house where my grandfather and I were living before. ”
Zhao Yun nodded: "Yes, Changwen, your vision is too high!" What Bing'er said is very good, we don't need to build a good house, as long as the house is built on the original basis to be able to live in it. Such a large compound is much stronger than your accommodation. If you want, when your 200,000 people arrive, the master will be here to help you train the hundreds of elites you have selected. The venue here is large, and it is located in Luoyang City, so many things are convenient to do. ”
Hearing this, Chen Qun looked at Zhao Yun with bright eyes: "Okay, master!" That's it! I quickly contacted the Brotherhood and asked them to come and repair this place from the mountain towns. ”
Zhao Yun and Li Bing'er nodded, so Chen Qun came to the gate of the Tang Mansion and waved, and the members of the Brotherhood who were secretly guarding not far away immediately appeared: "Deputy Boss, what do you command?" ”
Chen Qun muttered for a while when he heard this, when did I become your deputy head: "You quickly go back to Shaomu Mountain City, pass on my order, transfer twenty couples from the mountain city to come here, require the woman to be able to cook, and transfer another housekeeper and a hundred brothers who can repair the house and fifty Chen Mansion guards to come over, I have important arrangements, so that these people are ready to settle in Luoyang for a long time." It is likely that they will not have to go back to the mountain town when they arrive. ”
"Yes! The subordinates immediately went to spread the word. ”
After the guards left, Chen Qun shook his head and entered the Tang Mansion again, discussing the arrangement of the Tang Mansion with Zhao Yun and Li Bing'er again. Because Zhao Yun proposed to train troops here, the martial arts training ground must be expanded, and some facilities must be changed. After the discussion, Chen Qun, Zhao Yun and Li Bing'er returned to the wine store together, and waited for the arrival of the Chen family's hands on the third floor of the wine store.
Early the next morning, the Chen family's men were led by a butler to the wine shop. Twenty women hurried to breakfast, while the men found a place to sit down and rest in the wine shop.
The housekeeper who led the team came to Chen Qun and hugged his fist and saluted: "Family master, the subordinate is Guan Thirteen, and all the people you need are here." ”
Chen Qun nodded: "Thirteen, there are many guest rooms here, let everyone rest for a day first, and after dawn tomorrow, twenty couples will stay here to clean the wine shop and make food, and by the way, strengthen the place that should be reinforced." Fifty guards also stayed here to temporarily keep the liquor store safe. The remaining hundred brothers went there to repair the house, and the place to eat and rest was here before the house was repaired, and you were solely responsible for the matter. ”
Guan 13 waited for Chen Qun to finish speaking and hugged his fists and said, "Master, I don't know if this place will open after the mansion is repaired?" ”
Chen Qun looked at Guan 13 and nodded: "Yes!" That house will henceforth be your dwelling. A hundred brothers will stay there after repairing it. Your duty in the future is to run the liquor store and manage the logistics of the house for me. The twenty couples and a hundred brothers will be placed in your charge. I'll give you fifteen gold first, and you'll see me again after you have all this straightened out. After dinner, you can go with me to the house and have a look, and I will tell you how to repair it. ”
"Subordinates take orders!" Guan Thirteen lowered his head and hugged his fists.
After eating, Chen Qun, Zhao Yun, and Li Bing'er came to the Tang Mansion with Guan 13 and 50 Chen family guards. Chen Qun did not let the fifty guards accompany him, but the fifty guards took the initiative to guard Chen Qun's side.
When he came to the Tang Mansion, Chen Qun told Guan Thirteen all his ideas, and after reading it, Guan Thirteen hugged his fists at Chen Qun and said: "Family master, if according to your assumptions, your subordinates have estimated, you only need hardware at most to repair this courtyard, and you won't need fifteen gold, and the head of the family will give too much." ”
Chen Qun looked at the ten gold medals that Guan Thirteen had brought over and smiled, "Yes, your ability is very strong. But you don't have to give me the ten gold. After the house is repaired, some furniture will be purchased. Your next task is to run the liquor store and support the 190 people, including the 100 brothers, in the future. Do you think it's enough money now? ”
Guan 13 clenched his fists when he heard this: "Go home, my subordinates have already counted the money for furniture and necessary daily necessities when they were calculating just now. Since the head of the family let his subordinates run the wine shop, although the subordinates have no experience, they are willing to give it a try, not to mention that the head of the family has assigned twenty chefs to his subordinates, and the subordinates are confident to complete the tasks assigned by the head of the family. ”
Chen Qun looked at Guan Thirteen and smiled slightly: "Do it well!" ”
Guan Thirteen then hugged his fists and said: "Family master, as for the marriage of a hundred brothers, this matter is not a difficult matter now, after this compound is repaired, there will be at least five hundred houses to live in." The subordinates believe that there will be many women who are willing to marry into the Chen family. Now in this world, as long as you can eat enough, you don't have to worry about finding wives for your brothers. ”
Chen Qun nodded and said: "Gold can't be spent indiscriminately, each of you must be content, after you live a good life in Luoyang, you must try your best to share the worries of the brothers over there in Shaomu Mountain City!" Try to ease the stress on my belongings! In addition, although the current identity of the 190 of you is the servant of my Chen family, the brothers have free personal rights, and everyone has nothing to do to wander around Luoyang on weekdays, and even ask for leave to go to your hometown to have a look, you just know this. ”
"My subordinates thank the brothers for their promise! Thank you, owner! Guan 13 bowed to Chen Qun excitedly, and all the guards around him bowed to Chen Qun.
Chen Qun gently patted Guan Thirteen's shoulder: "Go back!" Take your brothers back and have a good rest, there will be a lot of work to do tomorrow. ”
Guan Thirteen clasped his fists against Chen Qun again and turned to leave, but none of the fifty guards left. Seeing this, Chen Qun smiled and said, "It is impossible for all fifty of you to follow me all the time. So, if you are worried about my safety, divide them into ten groups of five people, and you will take turns. The liquor store still needs your protection. Now the situation in Luoyang is very unstable, and many places need to be taken care of by brothers, so let's go back quickly. ”
After Chen Qun finished speaking, forty-five people bowed to Chen Qun and wanted to leave, but Zhao Yun hurriedly said, "Slow!" ”
Everyone looked at Zhao Yun when they heard the voice, and Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Changwen, you don't need to be so troublesome, you wait." ”
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he disappeared in front of Chen Qun's eyes, and Chen Qun only felt a flower in front of him, and saw Zhao Yun's figure quickly shuttling among the fifty guards. The fifty guards didn't have time to resist, so they were touched by Zhao Yun on the neck.
After Zhao Yun finished touching it, he appeared in front of Chen Qun again: "Yes, there are three people with good qualifications." According to their current age, it is not difficult to develop internal strength within a year and become a first-class master, and there are eleven people with good qualifications who are qualified to join the elite guards. The other thirty-six were also good at one to ten. ”
Chen Qun was overjoyed when he heard this: "Master, you pick out those three people and let the remaining brothers go back first." The training of elite escorts will start after the 200,000 men have arrived. ”
Zhao Yun nodded, and then pointed to three people, and the three of them hurriedly walked out of the team and stood behind Chen Qun.
Chen Qun then said: "These three people stay, and the rest of the brothers go back to the wine shop to protect the safety of the wine store, so you don't have to worry about my safety anymore." ”
Hearing this, the forty-seven guards first hugged their fists and saluted Chen Qunqi, and then bowed to the three people standing behind Chen Qun, which means that the safety of the head of the family is entrusted to the three of you. The three of them also returned the salute to the forty-seven people, which means that the brothers should rest assured, we will protect the safety of the head of the family.
After the guards left, Chen Qun took Zhao Yun's hand and said happily: "Master, do you want to go back to the mountain city and select some more people, the disciples don't know which people are good seedlings for martial arts, we can't bury them." Besides, the apprentice does need someone with good kung fu to help. ”
Zhao Yun nodded: "Okay, now Luoyang has nothing to do with us, let's go back to the mountain city and have a look." The master will help you pick out a few good materials for martial arts and train them to be the guards around you. This will also make it easier for you to do things later. ”
"Thank you, master! Master, you are so good! I love you to death! Let's go! Chen Qun shouted happily. Li Bing'er, who was on the side, silently noted in his heart that Chen Qun likes talented people. And Chen Qun himself never thought that his every move would have such a big impact on Li Bing'er.
After Chen Qun and his entourage of six returned to Shaomu Mountain City, Chen Qun couldn't wait to order the bearded man to gather all the servants of the Chen family who chose to practice martial arts, and then let Zhao Yun choose.
Zhao Yun carefully selected 19 more people from more than 1,000 people. At the same time, one hundred and thirteen candidates suitable to join the elite escort were selected.
After the handwriting was selected, Chen Qun ordered the bearded man and the others to disperse, leaving only the nineteen selected and the three who came back with him.
After Chen Qun looked at the twenty-two people one by one, he was quite happy, the oldest was twenty-one years old, and the youngest was ten years old. There were eight people over the age of 18, six people between the ages of 15 and 18, and eight people between the ages of 10 and 14.
Chen Qun thought that Zhao Yun in history did not seem to have cultivated family generals, so one of his sons died on the battlefield, so Chen Qun had a plan in his heart. He looked at the twenty-two people and said: "Congratulations on being selected by my master from ten thousand people, although you are suitable for martial arts practice before, but there is no Bole, no one finds that you are a good material for martial arts, now you can be selected by my master, it means that your martial arts qualifications are excellent!" Twenty-two of you will follow my master and me at any time, listen to my master's teachings at all times, and be responsible for guarding our safety. ”
"Yes!" Twenty-two people hugged their fists in unison.
After Chen Qun finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun nodded and stepped forward and said: "Your roots and bones are indeed good, but good roots and bones do not mean that you can learn martial arts well, I hope you can follow me to learn martial arts in the future, and strive to become a good helper by your master's side as soon as possible." ”
