Chapter 49: Be careful
Xu Yuanzuo was not as good as Xu Kun imagined.
He is now the big guy of the garden management bank, and in fact, he is in charge of the operation and accounts of the entire garden management bank. The liquidity of five hundred taels was also placed in his room, so that he was extra careful, for fear that someone would take risks.
Xu Cheng already knew about Xu Yuanzuo's deeds in the flower hall. Although the servants who were serving inside at that time couldn't understand such an esoteric answer, when they relayed it, they could still show that the lord and the guests valued Xu Yuanzuo. This is also enough for Xu Cheng to let go of his hands and feet and let Xu Yuanzuo take charge alone.
Xu Yuanzuo also realized how hard it is to recruit people in this era.
He just told Luo Zhenquan that he wanted to recruit people, and Luo Zhenquan was a bunch of people who were kidnapped by domestic slaves in collusion with bandits, and they were torn up after taking the silver; Or maybe the boss accidentally recorded someone, and the new guy turned out to be a spy sent by the thief, found out where the silver box was, and stole a fine light.
"If you say so, I can't hire anyone!" Xu Yuanzuo suspected that this was because of Luo Zhenquan's identity, and all he saw were bandits, so there was a lot of negative news. However, after talking to Xu Cheng, he found that the old steward also had this concern, and the words were directed at Xu Kun.
"My Xu family is not a family of meritorious relatives, it is all because of the lord who has today. The second young master didn't know that Taoguang was obscure, but he was just blindly rejoicing, and the weaver woman alone raised thousands of people! Those who come like this do not refuse, and they collect indiscriminately, after all, they will cause trouble! Xu Cheng said it heartbreakingly.
Xu Yuanzuo's understanding of Xu Jie's comes from later generations, of course, it is more comprehensive, and he will not be deceived by rumors. He said, "That's what the shopkeeper said." It is precisely because of the old man's big umbrella that the Xu family can be so prosperous. If we behave indulgently, we will tarnish the name of the master, and even give the court a small attack on the lord to give the truth. The master is damaged, how can the entire Xu family gain a foothold? ”
Xu Cheng appreciated Xu Yuanzuo's insight very much, and said: "So you still have to be cautious, not reckless, especially in this matter." Today this person can cry and shout and ask you to take him in, who knows if tomorrow he will be beaten upside down and said that you are cheap? None of this is new! ”
"So the kid is going to just hire workers." Xu Yuanzuo paused: "I have to go back to Zhuli and find reliable people in the neighborhood to work." ”
Xu Cheng said: "You are young and old, I am very relieved." ”
Xu Yuanzuo won Xu Cheng's approval, and began to plan the manpower needed everywhere. The final figure did not surprise him: the most employed positions are indeed security at the moment.
In this era, the criminal investigation ability of the yamen was extremely weak, and if there was a murder, someone might be sent to investigate. If it is a case of theft or robbery, don't expect to solve the case at all.
In addition to such lawbreakers within society, as a seaside area, Songjiang also faced attacks by Japanese pirates. Although the war against the Japanese in the southeast has been declared victorious, and the Japanese no longer roar like Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, as a remnant, they still have the ability to attack and harass the coastal areas.
There is Jinshanwei in the southeast of Songjiang, and then there is Qingcun guarding the thousand households in the east, which is the guard army of the Eight Classics.
There is Xiaozhen Village in the northwest and Maoqiao Second Inspection Division in the southwest. There is the Jinshan Inspection Division in the south. There is the South Bridge Inspection Division in the southeast, and there is the Tao House Inspection Division. Then there is Zhelin Town in the southeast, and even built a city to send troops to defend it during the Jiajing period.
The fact that there are so many troops stationed means that security is a concern. If there is no one overseas, the imperial court will deploy defenses on the beach after the brain is pumped.
In addition, someone will soon notice that the people who enter and leave Xu Yuan are either rich or expensive, and they are all one-sided figures. The so-called people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, Xu Yuanzuo opens the door to do business, he must be famous, and the only way is to grow fangs, so that people dare not do it.
"In addition to worrying about bandits and robbers, I am even more afraid of causing trouble." Xu Yuanzuo called the old pirate Luo Zhenquan to discuss, and the two talked while cleaning up the wreckage in the garden. Just like himself to Xu Cheng, Luo Zhenquan is also Xu Yuanzuo's only general, judging from the current appearance, his brain is not very useful, but he has rich social experience, and he is not a fool who has never been to the village even in the county.
"Where's Xiao Wall?" Luo Zhenquan asked.
"Ahem, it's brothers against each other." Xu Yuanzuo confessed: "I'm afraid that Xu Er will find someone to clean me up." ”
Luo Zhenquan sighed and said, "I'm not very worried about this. As long as you hide in the house, my father and I will guard the door, and don't try to rush in when there are twenty or thirty people idle. ”
Xu Yuanzuo suddenly felt a little safe.
"I'm afraid that if they look for a green hand to fight, it will be troublesome." Luo Zhenquan said.
"Hit the line...... Aren't they just a bunch of hooligans? Very strong in combat? Xu Yuanzuo immediately thought of An Liuye.
Luo Zhenquan looked worried and said, "It's not just a thug. They also have a wide range of businesses and businesses. Luo Zhenquan was afraid that the word "business" in Xinxue would be used incorrectly, so he glanced at Xu Yuanzuo.
"What else do they do besides collecting fees, beating people to cause trouble, and being beaten for others?" Xu Yuanzuo knew that the spring of the line was still after Wanli, and the more troubled the times, the more arrogant he became, but now is the early year of Longqing after all, and there are still more than ten or twenty years from the peak era of the Ming Dynasty.
"How did the line come about, my dad knows best." Luo Zhenquan nodded in the direction of the main gate of the garden: "In the early years, splashing skin was splashing skin, where did you come from?" It was Qi Ye who recruited troops to fight against the Japanese, and these people got together. ”
"Isn't Master Qi a scoundrel who doesn't accept his mother-in-law?" Xu Yuanzuoqi said.
"It was like this: the scoundrels were scattered in the city, each with his own territory. Seeing that the benefits of recruiting were large, they gathered together and wanted to go to Qi Ye. Qi Ye had the foresight to know that these people would not be used. Not only will they not listen to the order, but they will also be the ghosts of the widows. When Luo Zhenquan said this, he was obviously much more confident.
Xu Yuanzuo said secretly: Maybe this guy has also found a splash to be a ghost!
"But it's impossible for Qi Ye to cover the entire southeast coast." Luo Zhenquan said: "Especially Qi Ye's main force is in Zhejiang and Fujian, and the deployment in the Nanzhi area is much weaker. We seafarers are not stupid, so we naturally go straight south. The guards of Nanzhi couldn't beat us, so they could only defend themselves according to the city, and at this time, those gathered up were useful, and they became righteous and brave. ”
Xu Yuanzuo nodded slightly: "This is not bad." ”
"That's good." Luo Zhenquan smiled: "What about after the battle?" Did these volunteers go home obediently? Of course not! They had already tasted the sweetness of the crowd, so they chose to be the head of the line and established the company. At this time, the fighting line is not only majestic in the city, they will also take the silver of the inspection department and act as militia archers to deal with the inspection above. As for the soldiers in the city, nine times out of ten they are also their people. ”
Xu Yuanzuo said secretly: This is equivalent to a hooligan being an assistant policeman, and the assistant police being transferred to an armed policeman!
"Why is Suzhou the most, and then popular in the south of the Yangtze River? Because most of the fighting hands in the south have a layer of skin, they can wear armor and send long soldiers, bows and arrows when fighting...... Who can beat them? If you go further north, the wind of fighting will not be so strong. Luo Zhenquan said.
Xu Yuanzuo lightly wiped his forehead: "I understand what I said to you." ”
"At the beginning, some people asked my dad to do a fight, and my dad didn't want to play with them when he was old." Luo Zhenquan said: "But I've been there for two days, so I know some insoles." ”
Xu Yuanzuo remembered An Liuye's solicitation of him, and remembered the speed of money in the black world, so he asked, "Then why didn't you do it?" ”
Luo Zhenquan suddenly seemed to have eaten something sour, and his whole face wrinkled: "They are too unconscionable!" ”
Xu Yuanzuo Daqi: Who can lose his conscience more than the robbing of homes and houses, and the bad deeds of abduction and plundering for thousands of years?
