Chapter Forty-Eight: The Trouble of Spending Money to Buy Back
Under the so-called heavy reward, there must be brave men.
Although I know that this guard is definitely not easy to be a guard, but when the white rice and the bloody pork are placed in front of them, many people are not calm.
Seeing this, Qin Xu smiled proudly, sure enough, he still has money to do.
pushed it back, and let Guan Yinping be responsible for the selection, and he was personally responsible for distributing the settling-in allowance.
Qin Xu doesn't have too many requirements for recruits, as long as they are healthy, it is best to have two brothers in the family, in that case, even if something happens, the parents in the family will also be taken care of.
Guan Yinping's personal selection is naturally stricter, although many people are a little dissatisfied with letting a woman choose.
But looking left and right, the tiger and leopard riding the big sword that flashed with cold light next to them, so they wisely chose to be silent.
The whole selection process was busy until noon, and even Zhang Hu rushed over when he heard the sound.
He didn't have any opinion on Qin Xu's behavior of recruiting people without saying hello, who let the family buy so many things yesterday.
Looking up at the sky, Zhang Hu touched his big belly and said with a smile:
"Lord Qin, it's been some time, why don't you go to the house with the old man for some light meals?"
Qin Xu looked at the busy scene and shook his head apologetically,
"Zhang Yuanwai, you have also seen it, I really can't leave here, so I won't bother today, and I will definitely go to the house another day."
Zhang Hu was just casually polite, and when he saw Qin Xu's refusal, he didn't insist, said hello, and left with his subordinates.
After sending Zhang Hu away, Qin Xu came to Guan Yinping and asked, "How is it?" How many are there? ”
Guan Yinping wiped a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, he was busy working here in armor on this hot day, and he was really a little hot.
He picked up the bamboo slip in his hand and counted it, and replied, "It's already forty-five, lord, do you still want to recruit?" ”
When Qin Xu heard this, he silently calculated in his heart and nodded, "Well, if you recruit seven more, you won't be recruited." ”
Hearing Qin Xu say this, Guan Yinping nodded and shouted at the crowd:
"The latter ones can be dispersed first, and there are still seven more here."
The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar again, some complained that they were late, and some complained about how to recruit one more.
Looking at the impatient look, it seems that he can't bear it anymore and wants to grab the food directly.
Qin Xu waved his hand, choked, choked a few times, and the tiger and leopard riders pulled out their long knives that flashed with cold light, and looked at everyone with fierce eyes.
And the more than forty young men who have passed the test have also copied the guys who are handy, and they have an example of being loyal and good guards.
Qin Xu nodded with satisfaction, sure enough, he was still a simple ancient, and he knew who he would give his life to if he took someone's money.
When the crowd of onlookers slowly dispersed, Qin Xu's side, after picking and choosing, finally recruited enough fifty-two young men.
Looking at these excited young men in front of him, Qin Xu sighed in his heart.
This bowl of decapitated rice is not so delicious!
"Okay, I won't say more, you take your own settling-in money, go and settle your own home, and rush to Lujiazhuang before tonight."
Qin Xu looked around, and saw that everyone was still excited, his face sank, and he said coldly:
"Those who fail to expire will bear the consequences!"
Although the voice was not very loud, it still made everyone present shiver.
Especially when I saw the cold and dazzling big knife in the tiger and leopard rider, everyone's hearts gradually eased from the excitement.
Seeing this, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Qin Xu's mouth, but it was indeed fleeting.
"Ugly words I said in front, this errand is not so easy to do, if you are not careful, your life will be in danger, and it is too late to choose to quit now."
Everyone looked at each other a little blankly, and when Qin Xu said this, everyone really had something in their hearts.
I want to quit, but when I look at the rice and pork in my hand, I am a little reluctant.
"Has no one opted out? One last chance for you? ”
Qin Xu's eyes swept around like lightning, and although everyone had hesitant expressions, no one answered.
"Okay, since that's the case, let's go back first, and we'll see you in Lujiazhuang in the evening."
When everyone dispersed, Guan Yinping asked with some concern:
"Lord, we don't know if the address they left behind is true or not, what if they don't come?"
Qin Xu waved his hand indifferently, "If you don't come, you won't come, and you'll recruit again tomorrow." ”
"Huh?" Guan Yinping looked at Qin Xu a little stupidly, you just said so much about your feelings, it's all in vain?
Qin Xu touched his nose, he was also very helpless, there is no household registration book in this era, how can you let him find these people in this unfamiliar place?
"Okay, let's go back first, and we'll see how it goes in the evening."
Qin Xu waved his hand, and a few young men sent by the owner of the butcher shop immediately pushed the cart to follow.
Today's ten taels of gold, Qin Xu bought 2,200 catties of pork, and it only cost a little more than nine taels, which is converted into more than 20 taels of pork per catty, which is really cheap.
Looking at the less than one or two taels of gold left, Qin Xu bought some things casually in the market, and in the disappointed eyes of the stall owners, he returned to Lujiazhuang with everyone.
As soon as she came back, she saw Lu Ling'er waiting at the entrance of the village, and the little girl was still dressed as a white-faced scholar, which made Qin Xu look a little awkward.
If it hadn't been confirmed by the system, this girl was 100% a woman, and she was also a beautiful woman with good looks, Qin Xu would have forcibly forced her a long time ago... Dress up!
Shaking his head, Qin Xu put all his thoughts behind him, and after arriving at the entrance of the village, he asked suspiciously:
"Ling'er, aren't you staying at home? What are you doing here? ”
Lu Ling'er pursed her lips when she heard this, and muttered, "The patriarch asked me to wait for you here, the meal is ready, and I will wait for you to come back." ”
Qin Xu touched his stomach, he was really a little hungry, so he didn't be polite to Lu Ling'er, and rushed to the old patriarch's house with everyone.
On the way, Lu Linger looked at the cart behind curiously, especially the blood dripping down one after another, which made her very puzzled.
"Lord Qin, what are you pulling here?" Pointing to the cart, Lu Linger's curious baby's expression made Qin Xu a little funny.
"Meat, good pork, do you want to eat it?"
"Huh?" Lu Linger exclaimed in a low voice.
Turning her head to look at the cars following behind, the little girl stammered and asked, "You, you bought so much pork?" But how do you save it? ”
"Uh." Qin Xu was stunned when he heard this, and looked up at the big sun in the sky.
Yes, I patronized and bought it, so much meat, it won't just stink, right?
