Of course, the military salary is not a one-time payment, but it has to be paid to the family, otherwise who would come to Songjiang? Therefore, Xu Yuanzuo offered three hundred taels of silver as a settlement fee. In order to ensure safety, he hired two strong men who knew the roots and had a family to follow Father Luo and obey the arrangement all the way.

Because the name of Zhejiang soldiers is too big, a prime minister's family hired Zhejiang soldiers to come to the family nursing home, and it is inevitable that people will be criticized when it spreads. Therefore, Xu Yuanzuo specially explained to Father Luo, only saying that his son was not around, and now he was rooted in Xu Xiang's mansion, so he wanted to bring his relatives and friends from the past, so he returned to Quzhou to recruit people to work.

Except for the three people who were determined, only Xu Cheng knew the true identity and purpose of these hundred people.

Just two days before Daddy Luo's departure, Xu Cheng personally went to Xinyuan to find Xu Yuanzuo: "Do you need so many people to take care of the home?" "He is not an uninformed person, the prestige of the Qi family's army is prominent, and when he fights the enemy, he can even annihilate the enemy with all his hands intact. These 100 veterans of the Zhejiang Army, not to mention taking care of the garden, it is enough to lay down the Litahui!

"Shopkeeper, this is actually just the first batch." Xu Yuanzuo said: "And most of them are from Quzhou. In the future, we may have to recruit the real elite of Zhejiang soldiers from Jinhua - compulsory soldiers. ”

Xu Cheng felt that Xu Yuanzuo had heard too much about the book, although the Yiwu soldiers were famous, they might not be much stronger than the Quzhou soldiers...... Ahem! None of this is the key, the key is why you recruit so many soldiers!

"Are you going to rebel?" Xu Cheng wanted to add some psychological pressure to Xu Yuanzuo.

He failed.

Xu Yuanzuo didn't feel any pressure on the "rebellion" at all. He smiled: "Shopkeeper, although I have a plan to recruit troops because of this garden, my eyes are not limited to this garden. He paused, and then said: "Now Songjiang cloth is already a sought-after commodity, and there are many business travelers in and out of Songjiang. Although the law and order were good after the destruction of the pirates, the water thieves still haunted from time to time, plundering property and even killing people. ”

"That's the matter of the Inspection Division, what does it have to do with me?" Xu Cheng frowned.

"We can start a new business." Xu Yuanzuo spit out two words: "Dart line." ”

"What do you mean by a dart line?" Every time Xu Cheng faced Xu Yuanzuo, he felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

Although various novels and movies in later generations ignored the time when the dart line appeared, the first dart line in history only appeared during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

After Xu Yuanzuo explained the content of the dart store to protect the business travel and act as a bodyguard, Xu Cheng frowned and said: "That is, we lend our own nursing home to others, and they pay us?" ”

"Exactly." Xu Yuanzuo said: "It's like a carriage and a horse, but the dart shop doesn't work, it just ensures the safety of the employer." ”

Xu Cheng smiled bitterly: "You kid owe experience after all." He said, "Although the idea is good, no one will come to spend money to borrow our people." First of all, how can you rest assured? Secondly, they transport a shipload of goods, and they have to share a share of the profits to us, isn't it heartbroken? ”

"It's better than having the goods robbed and the people and money empty." Xu Yuanzuo replied that he didn't care much about the issue of "trust" in his heart. In this era when fame is a qiē, who else can provide a higher fame than Xu Jie.

Xu Cheng shook his head and said, "I'm not optimistic about this." He was afraid that such a direct veto would hurt Xu Yuanzuo's enthusiasm, and said, "In this way, you let Lao Luo leave two days late." I'll ask Uncle Fan tomorrow to see what he means. ”

Xu Yuanzuo knew that it would definitely not be economical to raise so many people just to protect a garden, and he knew very well that the development of things had its own laws.

There have been robbers since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, why did there not be a dart line until the Qianlong period?

There are political factors in this: the Manchu Qing Dynasty was very protective of the Han people, and they were not allowed to gather in crowds or carry weapons. Han merchants could not support themselves and could only seek official recognition of commercial security.

There are social and environmental factors: in the rebellion at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Shanxi was the hardest hit area, and the remnants of the Ming army, the Shun army, and the Western army became bandits, robbing homes and houses, and the local government was unable to eradicate them.

Then there are the economic factors: the ticket number needs to transport large quantities of money on a regular basis, and it must be safe. In today's absence of ticket numbers, no one will transport large quantities of gold and silver currency to distant places. The value of other goods may not be worth the extra cost of bodyguards, and perhaps it is cheaper to buy road money for robbers.

Therefore, the dart line appeared in the Qianlong era of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and appeared in the Shanxi Jin merchant region, not because a business genius patted his head and came up with it.

But apart from throwing darts, Xu Yuanzuo really couldn't think of how to convince Xu Cheng or even Xu Fan. Do you want to tell them about the talent pool and echelon construction in strategic human resources?

Xu Yuanzuo is reluctant to reduce the number of nurses, one is the current danger, and the other also needs time to cultivate their loyalty. There are only people waiting for things, not waiting for people. What if the time comes to set up a bank in the future, but there is no reliable person on hand to protect it, is it to do it or not to do it?

Coincidentally, Xu Cheng wanted to visit Xu Fan the next day to discuss the matter. Xu Fan arrived at the new garden on the same day, and brought servants to invite a few guests to visit the garden.

"Yuan Zuo, you follow." Xu Fan deliberately named him.

Of course, Xu Cheng was happy to see that Xu Yuanzuo could go further and gain greater trust from the proprietor, so he gently pushed Xu Yuanzuo and personally arranged the banquet regardless of his figure.

Xu Yuanzuo thought that these people were learning from the heart, so Xu Fan specially asked him to follow. Who knew that after Xu Fan took these guests around the two gardens, he won a lot of praise, and began to complain: "My family adults know, there is a heroic spirit, after this garden is built, no one will ask a word about it, and even our own family can't use it." ”

Xu Yuanzuo's ears pricked up, and he smiled secretly in his heart: It turns out that the uncle brought a customer!

A few guests didn't know Xu Fan's thoughts, and they were misplaced when they responded: "Those people are too ignorant!" ”

"If you don't borrow it, people will talk nonsense about the Xu family's stinginess! You still have to set a threshold. A middle-aged man said aloud. His voice was deep, holding a folding fan, and when he spoke, the folding fan was lightly tapped, quite with the attitude of some scholars to reprimand Fang Xuan.

Xu Yuanzuo couldn't help but glance at him more, and said secretly in his heart: This person doesn't know if it's the childcare arranged by Xu Fan, or if he really has insight. Judging by his outfit, he should be famous, and his face is dark, not like a petty official. And speaking incisively, in a word, this is the habit of often giving advice to others.

"What Brother Zhong Jia said is very true." Xu Fan shook his head again: "It's also helpless, my family set up a club, and only lent the garden to the people who joined the club." If you want to join the club, you have to deposit five hundred taels of silver in the counter, and you have to recommend five people in the meeting. Is that high enough? ”

That Brother Zhongjia gently tapped his palm with a folding fan, and others knew that he was thinking and was about to speak, so they didn't rush in front of him. He said: "This threshold is set beautifully, and if there are inappropriate people to borrow the garden, you will know that it is not the Xu family who refuses, but the people in the meeting who stop it." Good way. He added, "But the bar is not necessarily high. Su Song's rich house, not to mention ten thousand gold. Five hundred taels is a small amount to them. ”

Someone on the side hadn't figured out the tone yet, and said, "It should be counted by merit." ”

Someone immediately squeezed him to the back and refuted: "There are many people who are born in seven articles and are unbearable!" There may not be no real heroes outside the second list. It is not appropriate to set a threshold for this. ”

During the township examination and the meeting examination, the first test of the "Four Books" is three righteous questions, and there are four righteous questions, a total of seven articles and eight strands, so those who are born on the right path in the imperial examination are also called seven origins. This person has no obstacles, but he forgot that Xu Fan is a shadow official, and he is not on the right path, so he deserves to be squeezed out of the way by his companions.

"According to the family lineage?" And humane.

Zhong Jia said: "Is the wealthy family less than these five hundred taels?" If it is a famous family, it can be seen that the family style is not careful, and it should not be put in. ”

Everyone talked as they walked, and the discussion was very lively, but in the end, they still had to admit that it was the most appropriate way to set a threshold with money and member recommendations. So they began to discuss the disadvantages of member referrals, fearing that someone would spend money to buy it and sneak in. Xu Fan was as good as a stream, and immediately instructed Xu Yuanzuo to get another charter of "review and veto", even if there were five members who recommended him and could afford to pay five hundred taels of silver, he might not be able to join the club.

Xu Yuanzuo has had this idea for a long time, but he feels that the time is not yet ripe, how can he refuse people thousands of miles away before the market is opened? But since the owner has proposed it, just do it yourself.

In this way, everyone naturally knew Xu Yuanzuo, and they all wondered how the Xu family was full of talents, how could such a young man do this.

Xu Fan just pretended to be profound, and laughed silently.

Xu Yuanzuo couldn't help but admire Xu Fan's communication methods, which not only advertised, but also did not stain the slightest smell of philistine copper, and really did a good "article".

Xu Yuanzuo followed behind and waited for them to open the table before walking away. I just thought that I had completed my task and could go back to the house to do some work, but I saw Luo Zhenquan hurriedly running over and said, "There are two people at the main entrance, saying that they are your adults and eldest sister." Uncle is in the garden, I don't dare to let it in, you go and see. ”

Xu Yuanzuo asked as he walked, "Which adult is it?" ”

"Your mother." Luo Zhenquan followed Xu Yuanzuo and tried hard to learn to speak elegantly, but after all, it was not as easy as recklessness.

Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "Oh, I've been away from home for a few days, I'm afraid that my mother and eldest sister are worried, so they came to see me." ”

Luo Zhenquan said in a sullen voice: "I don't think so." ”

"How?" Xu Yuanzuo was stunned.

"They were in a hurry, their hair was scattered, and they didn't have anything with them, as if something had happened." Luo Zhenquan said.

Xu Yuanzuo immediately quickened his pace and rushed towards the main gate almost at a trot.
