Chapter 14: Zhu Zhuo-Zhu Gongwei

The housekeeper Lu who received the benefits really sold his dead strength, and he went back and asked his master Lu Zhi, and with Lu Zhi's approval, he found a few literate doormen from Lu Mansion to go to places where people gathered in various parts of the city to post the list, and let a few doormen read aloud without listening to them;

At the gate of the south of the city, a few people surrounded after posting the list, because since Dong Zhuo left, there has been no such thing as a notice in Luoyang, after a long time, at first glance, many people felt surprised, and some timid people did not dare to approach, after all, the world is too chaotic, don't come back to see which powerful lord levies the list of conscription, and after seeing the excitement, he took people away directly, because it is not that such a thing has not happened before, and Dong Zhuo did it more than once when he was in Luoyang;

When a few people who were a little bolder and more curious appeared next to the list and wanted to watch, the Lufu Men who had been waiting for a long time and was a little impatient saw that someone finally came up to see it, so he read aloud: "When today's brother, His Royal Highness King Hongnong issued an edict:

A number of strong laborers are recruited, and all men aged 15-40 can sign up, take care of a meal, and each person pays a pound of food per day;

Recruitment: carpenters, stonemasons, blacksmiths and other craftsmen, in charge of a meal, each person pays two catties of food per day; Recruit a number of people who can write and calculate, take care of a meal, and pay each person five catties of food per day; The king of Hongnong is kind-hearted, and this kind of labor comes and goes freely, and is not forced; You can receive food after you finish your work on the same day; In addition, King Hongnong opened the Luoyang Academy in Luoyang, where boys and girls aged 7-15 and women under the age of 35 could attend and manage a meal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Because the doorman of Lu Mansion read loudly, even the people who were a little far away and did not dare to come over heard it, and when they heard that there was such a good thing, they all gathered around to inquire about specific matters; Not long ago, when this doorman was already a little dry after reading it for the fifth time, there were already three layers of inside and outside near the list here, and there were no less than dozens of people;

At this time, many people were talking to each other in low voices

"Brother Zhang, do you think this can be true? Wouldn't it be Dong Zhuo's fake list article to trick us into going to Chang'an to serve in conscription? ”

Just look at the face of this person called Brother Zhang, he said with disdain, "What do you know, Dong Thief has already been congratulated by the Eighteenth Road and rushed to Chang'an, and now Luoyang is such a ghost, he will not come if he is invited."

"Brother Zhang, you're right, who is this King Hongnong?" A middle-aged man with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek next to him asked

"As far as I know, the Son of Heaven who was deposed by Dong Thief later became King Hongnong, but I heard that this King Hongnong was killed by Li Ru under Dong Thief?"

"Hmph, how dare you and the other small people talk about the life and death of His Royal Highness King Hongnong behind their backs, how can the rumors be credulous?" A righteous and awe-inspiring voice, like a bell; The person who said this had a dull yellow complexion, three folds on his forehead like a knife and axe, but he was extraordinary, about 40 years old, eight feet tall, and powerful limbs.

This person said to the doorman who was still reading the list: "I am Qiantang Hou Zhu Yu, take me to His Royal Highness King Hongnong."

The doorman had also heard of Zhu Yu's name, and hurriedly said "Ruo" to put aside everyone and take Zhu Yu to the direction of Luoyang pawnshop;

The people who were still talking just now saw that the people who read the list were gone, and they were also moved to hear it just now, and they didn't hesitate now, now it is the most important thing to have something to eat, so they all followed Zhu Yu and the two to the pawnshop in the west of the city.

A similar situation is happening here, and many people have heard the news in the places where the posts are posted, and the others have been filtered out, as long as they can have food to eat, because in the past two months, almost even the bark of the trees has been stripped off, and they have all traveled from all over the city to the direction of the Luoyang pawnshop.

At this time, Liu Braid, who had just finished receiving supplies with the little fat man in the warehouse in his courtyard, heard that there seemed to be a lot of movement outside, so he came out of the warehouse and called Bu San and asked, "What's going on outside?"

"Back to my lord, the outside is full of people who have come to serve in labor after reading your list of conscription for labor."

Bu San was also stunned, he hadn't read the list text, he had been in the house, so he didn't know what the list text was about? It's just that it's the first time he's lived so long to see so many people taking the initiative to serve as conscripts, didn't he always have to forcibly arrest conscripts before? Could it be that our lord is too charismatic?

In fact, what Bu San didn't know was that it was not that Boss Liu was too charming, but that the charm of white-faced steamed buns was too great

Liu Braided learned about the situation outside, so he walked out of the courtyard, through the porch and the shop, and was stunned by what he saw, and he suddenly remembered the mantra of Yuan Tengfei, the best history teacher in the past, there are tens of thousands of people, boundless; He didn't know if there were 10,000 people at the door, but from his outside, he really couldn't see the end of the crowd, if it weren't for these three soldiers blocking at the door, these people might have rushed in, and the street that was originally quite spacious because there was no one instantly became crowded, Liu Braided said that there were so many people in Luoyang, and at this moment, there was a steady stream of people rushing here.

Liu Braid was also mixed, happy that he didn't expect the recruitment to be so smooth, and worried that he, a young man who had just advanced to a millionaire, might soon be eaten poor by these people.

Liu Braided saw the people dressed as literati in front of him, presumably a few guests from the Lu family, so he walked over first and shook the hands of a few people, and said to them, "Thank you really for the help of a few gentlemen, several of them are talented, can you help Xiao Wang register these people who come to work here, let them stand in a team, all craftsmen and people who know how to write and hyphenate have registered their names, and the rest of the remaining people can help me register the number of people?" Liu Braided showed the appearance of a corporal of courtesy

A few doormen who are not very popular on weekdays were moved, and hurriedly said "if"

However, after finishing speaking, I thought that there was no way to register without bamboo slips and cloth in my hand

Liu Braided also saw that it seemed to be a little less thing, and said: "A few people let them stand separately first, and tell them that the people who come today can first send a day's wages, but they have to line up to receive it, ordinary laborers stand on the left, craftsmen and literate people stand on the right, and I will now go to the inner hall to prepare paper and pens for a few gentlemen" In fact, there was already paper in the Han Dynasty, but the production cost was high and the quality was not good, so it was not widely used, but the literati doctors still knew about paper.

After giving the order, Liu Braided entered the inner hall again, and then went to the warehouse, and instructed Bu San and the others to listen to his call to move grain out for a while

After Liu Braided arrived at the warehouse, he opened WeChat again, and the little fat man Liu Xuan did not go far at this time, and saw that Liu Braided sent him a WeChat message asking for paper and pens and buying tens of thousands of catties of grain near J County to transport to the warehouse.

In this way, he was busy tossing and tossing until the evening to distribute the food, relying on Liu Braid did not let a few doormen register ordinary laborers, otherwise it would be impossible for them to complete even if they were tired, Liu Braid took out more than 1,000 Wang Mang goods and hundreds of catties of grain from the warehouse and distributed them to a few Lufu doormen, today is also thanks to them, although several doormen are tired, but they are also very happy to leave, and they think that they can simply follow King Hongnong in the future;

Liu Braid listened to the report statistics of several doormen to himself, he couldn't understand the ancient Chinese characters, the reason why he wanted to write it down was to leave a bottom file, he learned from the air of several doormen, a total of 4817 laborers who came to register today, the basic age meets the requirements, of course, it is not excluded that in order to receive food falsely reported the age, 527 craftsmen, Liu Braid thought that it was not the capital of the Han Dynasty, even so there are still so many technical talents, he still wants to point to this group of people in the future to make a fortune, 3779 boys, 1551 girls, It seems that Dong Zhuo does not have the idea of taking some children away, he may feel that they are all burdens in the troubled times, one can't work, and the other can't fight and waste food, there are 2,635 adult women; It seems that we must quickly arrange tasks for these people, and we must not let them eat food idlely, otherwise they will lose a lot.

Just when Liu Braid was making careful calculations, Zhu Yu, who followed the doorman to the door of the pawn shop today, was not in a hurry to see Liu Braid, and when he saw the doorman busy registering, he was also nearby to watch Liu Braid's actions today

"It seems that the lord I want to defect to is a lord who has the world in his heart and is benevolent and righteous, and he thinks that Dong thief will not listen to my words and move the capital to Chang'an, resulting in countless holy spirits, and now it seems that it may not be harmful and beneficial!" At this moment, Zhu Yu's face is calm and resolute, although he is talking to himself, he is calm in his words; This Zhu Yu is not a foolish person, he knows very well that in this troubled world, some people are not worth relying on even if they are high.
