For example, Zhang Chao only helps teenagers between the ages of 10 and 16 who appear to be healthy and smart.

Anyone who is favored by him will receive a sum of alimony from his parents and relatives, and if he saves money, it will be enough to live for several years.

Of course, this is not a human trafficker, in that era, in order to make a living, in order to survive, there were many things selling children and daughters, and it was not necessarily a new thing, and even some people gave away for nothing in order for their children to have a good home. It's no wonder that parents are ruthless, they really can't afford to feed their children, and they can't even have enough food to eat, so they can't watch them starve to death like this, and finding a good family for them has become the wish of many parents.

For more than two months, Zhang Chao has been insisting on doing such a thing, and through his hands, there are more than 700 children selected and fancied.

The soldiers defending the city knew Zhang Chao. This second son, who often came to the city to do good deeds, had long been familiar to the soldiers, and when he saw that it was his carriage and horse coming, he hurriedly got out of the way.

Zhang Chao, accompanied by Bai Tong and his own soldiers, as soon as he left the city, he immediately surrounded a lot of people, and they seemed to know what this young man meant, and many people came up and began to sell their children.

"This son, look at my son, he is healthy and strong, and he can work like an adult as long as he takes care of the food when he buys it." A middle-aged uncle with the smell of sweat ran to Zhang Chao's horse and knelt on the ground and said.

"This son, let's choose my son, my son used to read, he knows how to read, he is in good health, and he can work." Another old peasant in a coarse cloth patch knelt down in front of his horse and spoke.

"Childe, look at my child, although she is a girl, she is really smart and literate, and now she is fourteen years old, as long as Childe is willing, she can warm the bed when she goes back." An old woman fell to her knees in front of her horse and pleaded.

It seems a little strange that someone still sacrifices their daughter, but the people who follow Zhang Chao really don't think it's strange. Because during this period of time, the second son not only buys boys, but also needs girls, but the proportion is lower.

"Alright, alright." Seeing that there were still people who wanted to kneel down and speak, Zhang Chao didn't squeak, and Bai Tong on the side did speak first: "Don't be in a hurry to recommend your own family, in this way, you let the children all stand up and let the second son take a good look." ”

"Okay, okay." When these homeless people heard that their children had a chance to continue to live, they hurriedly pushed them all to the front row one by one, as if they were afraid that they would lose their great opportunity if they were one step too late.

Soon, more than 200 boys and girls were pushed to the front line and appeared in front of Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao's gaze swept towards these teenagers one by one.

Some children are afraid to lower their heads, as if they are born humble and do not have the courage to see people.

Some were swept away by this eye, and even subconsciously puffed up their chests, in addition to showing themselves, they were afraid that they would be looked down upon.

For those who bow their heads at a glance, Zhang Chao will never take a second look at them.

A person can be looked down upon by others, can be defeated by others, but must not look down on himself. If you don't even have the slightest bit of self-confidence, then what's the point of making contributions and doing big things, such a person will naturally be eliminated at the first time.

Speaking of which, he can be regarded as having some experience. In the past, when he was in the Golden Triangle, he chose soldiers with such rules, and facts have also proved that a person is not confident in himself, so you don't need to point out that he will have too good ability.

The way of experience is easy to use, and it will not be easily changed.

Facts have proved that this is indeed very effective, at least the more than 700 men and women who have been selected are now training in a secret compound in Chen Liucheng, and judging from their performance, it does not disappoint.

Usually every time I go out of the city, I will find good seedlings, and I will take some people back, but this time it is the same, the only difference is that Zhang Chao found that a girl behaved very differently this time.

Compared with those who either bow their heads and dare not show others, or raise their heads and show their bravery, this girl has a steady gaze, and she is also very delicate, belonging to the kind of medium to upper posture, but she does have a lonely temperament, although she looks only thirteen or fourteen years old, but it does feel like she is a teenager and an old man.

"What's your name?" Looking at the girl, Zhang Chaosheng asked.

As soon as Zhang Chao spoke, the old woman who had been kneeling on the ground before immediately squeezed over, "Childe, childe, she is from my family, she is from my family, she is fourteen years old, she can warm the bed." ”

"I didn't ask you." Unexpectedly, when Zhang Chao, who had been smiling on his face, looked at the old woman this time, his eyes showed a cold light, and that cold light appeared, as if he could kill someone directly.

Being stared at by Zhang Chao like this, the old woman immediately closed her mouth, and at the same time was in a cold sweat, obviously she was really frightened just now, she didn't expect that this young man who had been smiling, giving people a feeling of being very easy to get along with, and was completely a well-educated person would have such a fierce gaze.

In the past, Zhang Chao led the troops to survive in dangerous places, but there were many killings, and the thousands of brothers under his command were not so easy to manage. Perennial killing, rolling in blood, there is naturally a kind of majesty in the eyes, this is something in the bones, and it is also a kind of momentum of the superior, only with the momentum, you can take the lead.

And when such a gaze looks at an ordinary person, you can imagine how shocking it will be.

Now, after being reborn here this time, Zhang Chao is used to using his eyes to convey his spirits, not to mention that this realm has also been improved, often some of the soldiers who follow him do not listen to the greeting, and his glance will make those people become a lot more honest.

Even the pro-soldiers are like this, let alone an old woman, it's strange that she's not afraid.

After scaring the old woman away, Zhang Chao looked at the girl again and asked with a pleasant face, "What's your name?" Where? Who else is in the family? ”

"Lu Fei, a giant deer man, his parents, brothers and sisters all died in the Yellow Turban Thieves. The woman was just the one I met on the road, and because she had some food there, I followed her. When the girl saw Zhang Chao asking herself, she was indeed not in a hurry, and her coherence was very clear, obviously she was a person who should have seen the world.

The girl's answer made Zhang Chao very satisfied, what he wanted was such a helper, and only people with such a character could take charge and assist themselves.

"Very well, so will you follow me from now on?" Zhang Chao did not mean to embarrass people, but fully respected the power of the other party.

Zhang Chao said this, the girl's eyes were obviously bright, she just said that following the old woman was because she had some food in her hands, so she would not starve to death, and now that she has a better home, how could she not choose.

"Lu Fei meets the second son." is a smart Lu Fei, so he bowed down immediately, and at the same time bluntly said the second son, which shows that this person observes things very carefully.

Seeing Lu Fei's style, Zhang Chao couldn't help laughing, although there is no woman Lu Fei in his memory, but history is written by people, thinking that Zhang Chao is just a few strokes in history, but Li Chuang has become the current Zhang Chao, and this name must be resounding in the land of China.

Bai Tong, who was on the side, saw Lu Fei's performance and nodded with satisfaction. She is not worried that after other girls get the favor of the second son, she will lose anything, in her opinion, she is the second son's person, as long as he is happy, everything is fine.

From this point of view, it has to be said that women of that era were extremely easy to satisfy. Of course, Zhang Chao was also a little unaccustomed when he first came, and after a long time, although he didn't say anything on his lips, his heart was really beautiful. "It's so fucking cool, this is the real man's life."

The gaze was back outside the city gates. "Good." Zhang Chao looked at Lu Fei and nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered some other children one after another, so that after gathering enough eight hundred people, he asked Bai Tong to take out the money, and then prepared to go back to the city.

Seeing that Zhang Chao finished picking people, the parents of those children who were selected were naturally happy to receive the reward, and the parents of those children who were not selected did show sad expressions on their faces. However, just as everyone was about to disperse, a middle-aged man suddenly ran over not far away, and as soon as he came here, he shouted loudly, "Ergou, go and take a look, your father is no longer good." ”

As soon as the words fell, a teenager rushed out of the crowd and ran straight away.

"What's going on?" Zhang Chao, who originally wanted to turn around and go back, encountered such a thing, so naturally he couldn't turn around and go away immediately, so wouldn't he be infamous to people, and some people would say that he regarded human life like a mustard?

In fact, Zhang Chao just asked casually, and he also knew how much the father named Ergou must have died because of hunger or dying in his life. In times of war, I don't know how many times this happens every day, and if you treat them with compassion every time, then don't do anything. Even if there is a family fortune, it is not enough to toss.

Seeing Zhang Chao asking, the uncle who came to report the news was naturally flattered, at that time, the position of dignity and humility was still very obvious, and being able to talk to a son with social status was a thing worth showing off for ordinary people at the bottom.
