Five days later, on September 16, 1886, Liu Jiang told Li Zhongju that they had no food or money, and that they had lived on protection money, but since following Li Zhongju, they had not collected protection money again, and they had no income. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Zhongju looked at the six people with sad faces, "How many meals are enough to eat now?" ”

Liu Jiang said hesitantly, "Boss, you can hold out for two days at most." ”

Li Zhongju has also been thinking about what can make money these days, and many things need funds, and sometimes nothing can be done without money. If you don't have enough food and clothing, who can live well and not be trapped by trivial things.

Li Zhongju suddenly said, "Liu Jiang, what do you think of our opening of the dart game?" ”

Liu Jiang's heart moved, with a big master like the boss, the dart game may be a good choice, and several other people have almost the same idea as Liu Jiang. So Liu Jiang said, "Boss, so we can go out and see the good world outside." ”

In fact, Li Zhongju knows that the dart game will become more and more difficult to do, and now the ticket number is gradually declining, and the main business of the dart game will become less and less, so that the top ten dart games will almost all disappear after one or two decades. But this does not affect Li Zhongju to do a dart game, Li Zhongju is ready to rely on the dart game in Guizhou Province, and even all over the country to pull in a group of talents, more precisely, to recruit martial arts masters.

Li Zhongju clapped his hands and said, "Our dart bureau is called the Zhenwu Dart Bureau, which starts with Tianzhu County, and then slowly expands to the entire Guizhou Province. We must take the customer first as the principle and strive to complete every task. ”

Liu Jiang was puzzled, "Boss, what is the customer?" ”

Li Zhongju was slightly stunned, "The customer is the employer." ”

Liu Jiang and the others had such expressions, Niu Er was a straight rectum, "Boss, is it enough for just a few of us, what if we meet the robbers of the Green Forest?" ”

Li Zhongju smiled slightly, "Niu Er, don't worry, nothing will happen, as for manpower, these days, you are looking for some like-minded people around the city, let them join our dart game, and I will look for an employer." ”

The six immediately replied excitedly, "It's the boss." ”

Li Zhongju looked at the six people with great interest, he knew that Liu Jiang's concept had changed a lot, and their thoughts were also influenced by themselves, and they had made a lot of progress, but they didn't feel it, this was good news for Li Zhongju, could he subconsciously influence the people around him.

Li Zhongju was wearing a standard samurai uniform, which looked very spiritual and made people look very powerful, which Li Zhongju redeemed from the battleship system.

This small county town does not have a dart board, because no big dart board will be stationed here, after all, Tianzhu County is remote and backward, and the economy is not very developed. However, it is a place where bandits are rampant, and if the big families in the city want to transport goods, they generally have to go to Zhenyuan County to ask for a dart master or several families to go out together.

Li Zhongju also saw this, so he dared to form a dart game, that is to say, Tianzhu County has no competitors, to be precise, no one in Tianzhu County has the strength to form a dart game. After all, generally speaking, the dart game needs a martial arts master to be in charge in order to suppress the robbers of the green forest in all directions, so that they dare not rob the dart easily.

Li Zhongju was going to go to the rich family surnamed Li in the city first, and Li Zhongju inquired that this family had a good reputation in Tianzhu County, and the Li family was hospitable and had quite assets in the family. The head of the family, Li Yaoshan, is exactly fifty-four years old this year, in his heyday, he worked as a private school teacher in his early years, taught more than a dozen lifters, and I heard that he also served as a big official.

The Li family, like other wealthy families, lived in the east of the city and had a very spacious courtyard, covering an area of three to five acres.

Li Zhongju knocked on the door of the courtyard, and it was an old man in his sixties and seventies who opened the door, Li Zhongju said very respectfully, "The old man wants to find the head of your family in his later life to discuss a matter, but I don't know if the head of the Li family is here." ”

The old man seemed to have fiery eyes, maybe he thought Li Zhongju was a good young man, and smiled slightly, "The master is reading in the study, you can come with the old man, the master still likes young people very much." ”

Li Zhongju thanked the old man, and followed the old man, the old man's steps were very slow, about ten minutes away, came to a study, the old man asked Li Zhongju to wait first, he went to make a bow, Li Zhongju expressed his understanding.

Li Zhongju waited for less than two minutes, and a Li Yaoshan dressed in a white robe and a Confucian student walked out of the study, and when he saw Li Zhongju, he was full of shock, but his heart was full of monstrous waves, how could it be possible, there would be such a person in Tianzhu County, this is impossible, absolutely impossible.

Li Yaoshan was very surprised by Li Zhongju's temperament, in his opinion, only the prime minister would have such a temperament, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, Li Yaoshan had decided at this time that no matter what the purpose of the person came, he would be satisfied, and he would be as satisfied as possible.

Li Yaoshan smiled slightly, "Your Excellency's presence is like a humble house, I don't know your name?" ”

Li Zhongju looked at Li Yaoshan, "The head of the Li family is polite, it was Li Zhongju who was born later, and it is an honor for Xiaosheng to have the honor to visit you today." ”

Li Yaoshan was slightly stunned, "Haha, Li Gongzi followed the old man to the study to sit down, we are talking about business." ”

Of course, Li Zhongju would not refuse, "The old gentleman sincerely invited, and Xiaosheng dared to disobey." ”

Li Zhongju followed Li Yaoshan into the study, although the layout of the study was very simple, it was very neat and warm, giving people a feeling of happiness.

Li Yaoshan looked at Li Zhongju, "Gongzi Li, what do you think of the old man's study?" ”

Li Zhongju glanced around, "The old gentleman's study is elegant and elegant, and the layout is almost perfect, it is a good place to read a book." ”

Li Yaoshan nodded, "Li Gongzi is not a local, right?" ”

Li Zhongju just smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Li Yaoshan understood that this young man didn't want to say more, and he couldn't ask more, "I don't know what is the so-called matter when Li Gongzi came to the old man this time?" Listen to it, maybe the old man can help in some way. ”

Li Zhongju knew to get to the point, "Old man, it's like this, I am going to set up a dart game in my later life to make a little money, but because I have no connections, I am afraid that I will not be able to get a job." ”

After listening to this, Li Yaoshan already understood in his heart, and thought about it a little, "Our Li family happens to have a batch of goods recently, which needs to be transported to Zhenyuan Mansion City the day after tomorrow, and the value is about five hundred taels of silver, Li Gongzi's goods, I will hand them over to you." ”

Li Zhongju didn't expect Li Yaoshan to be so refreshing, "Thank you for your late life, old man." ”

Li Yaoshan smiled slightly, "Li Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, how about Li Gongzi give you twenty taels of silver this time, besides, I want Xiao Er Li Yi to follow you to run darts, how about it?" ”

Of course, Li Zhongju was extremely happy, "Old man, no problem, for Ling Gongzi, I will take care of it for you." ”

Li Yaoshan talked a lot with Li Zhongju, and was very surprised by Li Zhongju's unique insights, and the two discussed that Li Yaoshan would help Li Zhongju live, and Li Zhongju would take care of the Li family more.

Before leaving, Li Yaoshan presented Li Zhongju with ten taels of silver, but Li Zhongju did not accept it politely, after all, he was very short of money now, and he would have the opportunity to repay the Li family in the future.

Li Zhongju left from the Li family, he was in a good mood, and he was ready to spend more words to persuade Li Yaoshan, but he didn't expect it to be useless, the old man's eyesight was very poisonous, and he saw that he was extraordinary, and he was pressing treasure on himself.

Li Yaoshan called his third son to the study, and said earnestly, "Yi'er, you are twenty-three years old this year, and the children are two years old, have you thought about it in the future, today that Li Zhongju is the most temperamental person my father has ever seen, and my father has already agreed with Li Zhongju to let you follow him to be a dart master." ”

Li Yi was a little puzzled, "Dad, is this necessary?" ”

Li Yaoshan shouted, "Yi'er, your father and I don't have any other skills, but these fiery eyes haven't made me suffer any losses." Go ahead, follow along, and you will hopefully become a Governor in the future. Our Li family will also become a veritable big family. ”

After that, Li Yaoshan talked a lot to his son, in short, to educate his son to follow Li Zhongju and do things well. Li Yi finally listened to his father's words and planned to follow Li Zhongju with all his heart.

Li Zhongju carried a bag of flour, returned to the courtyard, and found that there were eight more people in the courtyard, this should be the new dart master found by Liu Jiang and the others, and the age seemed to be between twenty-five and thirty-seven or eighteen.

Li Zhongju looked at these eight people, and his first impression was not bad, they all seemed very honest, not like the kind of people who made trouble. Li Zhongju is very satisfied, as long as the person is good, everyone else will be fine.

Liu Jiang and the six people saw the boss come back with a bag of flour, and a stone in their hearts finally landed, now there are fifteen of them, and they won't be able to eat tomorrow, but fortunately, the boss is thoughtful.

Li Zhongju gathered everyone together, "Hello everyone, I am Li Zhongju, thank you for coming, our town martial arts bureau welcomes everyone very much, I hope everyone can abide by the rules of the industry, act chivalrous and righteous, and even help the world." ”

"It's the boss." Liu Jiang replied.

Li Zhongju continued, "I'll teach you some fighting skills tomorrow morning, and I'll dart the day after tomorrow." Now ready to pack up for dinner. ”

The crowd was elated, "It's the boss." ”

The next morning, Li Zhongju had breakfast and gathered in the courtyard.

Li Zhongju looked at these people, "As a qualified dart master, we must have the spirit of martial arts, integrity, helping the weak, and helping others, and we must have the quality of the industry in which darts are in the people, and in the eyes of businessmen, employers, and the weak, we are their talismans and guardians." Therefore, we sometimes face threats to our lives, especially robbers and horse thieves. ”

Li Zhongju continued, "Everyone has heard of this, and you also know that many dart masters who died before they could get out of their careers, they are certainly admirable, but if they had worked harder in peacetime and united more in wartime, maybe tragedy would not have happened. ”

Everyone nodded, and they were also carefully thinking about what Li Zhongju said,

Li Zhongju looked at the serious looks of everyone and nodded, "Today I will give you some fighting skills, everyone listen carefully to me, you can save your life at a critical moment." ”

"It's the boss." The crowd shouted loudly.
