Brother Da Ma continued to talk.

The gang leader Xu Changlin is very powerful, and it is said that he can also use a set of stick methods, and he can't get close to seven or eight people when he is idle, which is very powerful.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, I received a big business, picked a batch of goods to go to Ningcheng, and called almost fifty porters on the road, but halfway met mountain bandits who didn't know where to come, not only the goods were robbed, but most of the porters died, and even Xu Changlin was seriously injured and almost died, so the Changlin Gang almost disappeared in an instant.

Jiang Yi nodded, fifty miles to the east of Lin Feng Town is where Gui County is located, and more than 100 miles to the southwest is where Linhe Mansion is located, and the provincial capital is not far away, and Linhe Mansion is more than 380 miles south of Ningcheng.

This Xu Changlin became the leader of a small gang in the town, and he personally went out to pick up goods to go to Ningcheng, but he was beaten and weakened, and almost collapsed, which shows that these rabble are not a big deal.

However, such a rabble is not something that Jiang Yi can deal with now.

Therefore, you must be strong, and you can't be a mermaid.

Only if your fists are hard enough will you not be bullied.

As a good student who has gone through nine years of compulsory education, is kind and mentally healthy, even if he doesn't want to bully others, he must have the ability to protect himself.

At this time, the thought in his heart became more firm, so he said aloud; "You've seen the problem, what now? We closed the flour shop, disbanded the cart shop and went home to hide, and cultivated the fields. Or is it better to find a way to solve these troubles and continue to make money? ”

As soon as these words came out, the two of them were silent.

Brother Ma fell into deep thought, if it was half a year earlier, he thought that it would be good to cultivate the fields at home and raise cattle and pigs.

But he has been in the cart shop for a while, and he has more than a dozen people under him, which is a good feeling, and he wants to experience it more.

Besides, when you are out in a car, you have money in your hands, and you don't have to brave the sun to roll up your trousers and plant rice and harvest rice in new clothes and shoes.

When I bought some food and got some money back home, my parents, wives and children were all happy and smiling, even if I walked in the village, I had some face.

And he can also see the world of flowers outside, and get in touch with all kinds of interesting people and things, and now he is asked to give up all this and go home to plow the fields, he really doesn't want to.

"Madam, how do you solve these problems?" He looked at Jiang Yi with longing in his eyes.

Jiang Yi didn't speak, looked at Chen Zhi, and Brother Da Ma also looked over.

Chen Zhi, who was drinking tea, saw the two of them looking at him and said in amazement; "What are you looking at me for? You don't need to ask me these questions, Madame's decision is my decision, and Madame's thoughts are my thoughts. ”

"Hehe," Jiang Yi smiled, this guy ......

"In that case, well, let's solve these problems."

"Good!" The two of them looked at her with burning eyes.

"If you want not to be bullied, you have to have hard fists, and the fists of two people are definitely harder than the fists of one person, so we must have our own people."

Big Brother; "Don't we have manpower now?"

Jiang Yi took a sip of tea and moistened her throat; "We used to hire coachmen, and they just worked for us to earn some hard money to support our family."

"Then should we hire some thugs to protect the home?"

She waved her hand, then tapped her hand lightly on the table, and said in a firm tone; "No, we're still hiring drivers, but it's just a group of drivers who can take a taxi."

At this time, she suddenly felt a bit like a female bandit, so she almost lifted one foot and put it on the stool.

"Tomorrow morning you will call a meeting of all the coachmen, and tell them that whoever has worked for three months will be paid a hundred cents, and that breakfast will be provided every day, and the standard shall be a large steamed bun and a bowl of porridge per person. Dinner is provided in the evening, and the standard is that the meal is enough. Every dragon raises its head, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and the winter solstice has holiday gifts, and the New Year will give an extra month's salary year-end bonus. ”

"This ......" The two of them gasped when they heard this, and looked at her stunned.

It seems that the salary and treatment have increased too much.

But these Jiang Yi had already thought about it; A car can earn more than 100 copper a day, and in addition to the chewing of cattle and some losses, the net profit can be at least 60%-70%. Two people drive a car, and the total salary is only 600 yuan, which is equal to ten copper per person per day, and she still has the rest of her profits, so she doesn't feel distressed about using this money.

As long as she can give herself more power in her hands, provide herself with some protection, and gain a firm foothold in this world, she is willing to give more money.

"Don't worry, you also have the above treatment, and the salary has also risen, five hundred yuan a month." She then said with pride.

Brother Ma was overjoyed when he heard this, his salary had just risen two months earlier, and now it has risen again, and this salary is worth the salary of the big shopkeepers in the town who can write and calculate.

It took a long time for a few words to pop up; "Madam, it's really going to rise so much......"

Jiang Yi shook his hand to stop him from talking; "These are naturally not in vain, Brother Zhi'er, you have learned martial arts, and every morning in the future, you will be responsible for training them for half an hour, teaching them some simple fighting moves, and if you don't want to practice, let him roll up and leave."

"That's fine."

"Also, tell them; In the future, if you are in trouble, you or any of your brothers are bullied, and you must fight back, and if you are cowardly, let him go. ”

Brother Ma said excitedly; "Yes, yes, that's good, let's not be cowards!"

Jiang Yi bowed his head and said; "In this way, everyone will become brothers, share prosperity and disgrace, advance and retreat together, and no one will dare to bully us."

"Yes, in this way, it means that we have more than a dozen brothers!" Thinking of this, he waved his fist excitedly.

Chen Zhi glanced at him and said; "When the time comes, you should also be kind to others, and don't treat them like slaves, and wash your feet."

"Hahaha, this is natural!" Brother Ma scratched his head embarrassedly.

Jiang Yi continued; "In addition, didn't you say that the road conditions in the northwest direction of Lugu Cave, the direction of Yantang in the northeast, and the direction of Hetan in the southeast are all good? You find a few people, go and have a look along the way, fix the problematic section, and then add three more cars. ”

"Good!" Brother Da Ma agreed cleanly, the more people he recruited, the more brothers he had, and he was naturally happy.

In this way, there are seven routes, ten vehicles.

Chen Zhi said at this time; "Madam, for the three cars in the back, we can consider using a horse-drawn carriage."

"Oh?"

"Horses are not much less powerful than oxen, and horses are faster, and they can run horse-drawn carts on flat routes, and ox-carts on uphill and downhill routes."

Brother Da Ma hurriedly said; "That's right, the idea of treating brother is good, we have few horses in our local area, but Yunnan horses are good, have good endurance, and the price is not as expensive as cattle."

"Yes, you can discuss and decide on this matter." Jiang Yi understands that the things that should be delegated should be a little more relaxed.

"But you keep in mind that there are several important conditions for recruiting employees, the first is that they must be young and middle-aged, and they should not be under the age of 15 or more than 35. Second, there must be a family, not for bachelors, and not for village ruffians. Third, the poorer the family, the better. ”

"Why should a poor man have a family?" Chen Zhi asked curiously.

"Just do it."

"Oh!"

Jiang Yi knows in his heart that only those who are poor know how to cherish the preferential treatment they give, and when they meet someone who violates his interests, they will dare to fight.

She remembered that the Qi family army in the Ming Dynasty, the miners who were recruited at the beginning were extremely poor, and they dared to fight when they fought.

Now that the conditions I give are good and I can still eat enough, for people with average living standards, I can do it or not, and I will cringe when I ask him to do something dangerous, and they will feel that there is no need to work hard for this money.

And a person who is so poor that he can't eat enough to eat, being able to eat a full meal and support his parents, wife and children at home is the greatest meaning of life, so if anyone robs him of his job and cuts off his family's support, he dares to fight hard.

She is now recruiting coachmen according to the idea of recruiting strong soldiers.

"Also, those who meet the requirements will bring them to me to see, and I will invite them to eat a bowl of noodles."

The three of them discussed for a long time, and did not go back until about eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
