Chapter 29: Recruiting Guards
Zheng Haoyu decided to wait and see what happened for the next two days. There are indeed guards patrolling the entrance of the store, but they are all pretending to walk through and do nothing.
Even if Zheng Haoyu pointed out that the troublemaker was hiding in the alley, they didn't care.
As soon as they left, the troublemakers intensified and simply blocked the shop. Seeing their fierce and vicious appearances, how can any guests dare to come to the door?
"Shopkeeper, what can I do?" Cuihua was a little anxious.
Zheng Haoyu said: "Don't worry about it for now, I'm going to go out and talk about it when I come back." ”
Right now, Huang Kai wants to take advantage, and Zhang Mo wants to force him away. No matter which side Zheng Haoyu compromises with, he will bleed once and even be controlled by the other party.
Therefore, Zheng Haoyu decided to go to Niujia Village and consult the head of Niu Village. After all, this is an otherworld, and we have to use otherworldly methods to solve the problem.
Niujia Village, most of the villagers here know Zheng Haoyu. And because Zheng Haoyu gave them a lot of salt, raised Cuihua's mother and daughter, and sold quenching fluid cheaply, the villagers respected him very much.
At the village chief's house, Zheng Haoyu told the village chief Niu about the situation. Village Chief Niu suddenly frowned and said, "They clearly want to kill you!"
"Then what can you do?" asked Zheng Haoyu.
Village Chief Niu pondered for a while and said, "This matter is easy to say, but difficult to say. ”
"If you want to continue doing business in Blackstone Town, conflicts with the medicine hall are inevitable. Unless you don't want to make money anymore, it's impossible to reconcile. And the captain of the guard, on the other hand, just wants to watch you fight and reap the benefits. ”
"If you want to protect your interests, you have to make them afraid to do it. ”
Zheng Haoyu also understood this problem, he said: "Village chief, don't hide it, I go out to travel, and I can only rely on myself. ”
In the Xuanyuan Continent, the children of many families or forces will go out to travel, and this kind of rule is not uncommon.
Village Chief Niu already believed a little in his heart, judging from the salt that Zheng Haoyu brought and the quenching fluid he could prepare, this young man was probably a child who traveled somewhere.
"In that case, then I'll call a few people from the village to help you watch, and if anyone makes trouble, just drive them away!" said Village Chief Niu.
Zheng Haoyu is also inclined to this method, this is to ask for security. But he thinks more, he doesn't want short-term, but long-term!
This is different from the earth, you make money and there is legal protection, but here, you may be robbed by robbers.
Even the local lords can confiscate your property, and there is no place to reason if you want to.
He said, "Village Chief Niu, I think. Can you hire a few long-term guards from the village, I will pay them, and I can also provide medicinal materials for them to practice martial arts......"
As soon as Zheng Haoyu said, Village Chief Niu didn't object at all, and said, "Of course you can." ”
Judging from the rationality, the village chief Niu felt that the future of being a guard was much brighter than farming and hunting in the village. When he was young, he went to work as a guard for a large family, learned martial arts, and successfully became a general!
At that moment, Zheng Haoyu discussed this matter with the village chief of Niu. Village Chief Niu decided to select five young and qualified men from the village to serve as Zheng Haoyu's bodyguard.
And Zheng Haoyu needs to pay them every month to help them cultivate martial arts. They will also be loyal to Zheng Haoyu, which is equivalent to private soldiers.
After the negotiation, Village Chief Niu admonished again: "Mr. Zheng, in fact, the old man thinks that you don't have to be so afraid of them. If they have to make an inch, the people of our Niujia Village are not so easy to bully!"
"By the way, that Huang Kai is the military general Wuzhongtian, if you can make him afraid, he won't dare to care about your affairs. ”
Zheng Haoyu nodded and said, "I understand." ”
In this world, force is still supreme, according to the head of Niu Village, if Zheng Haoyu himself is a pharmacist, or a martial artist who is more powerful than the martial arts generals of the Five Heavens, then Huang Kai and Zhang Mo will never dare to fight him!
"General, it seems that I have to become a general!" Zheng Haoyu said secretly in his heart.
He returned to Blackstone Town with four strong men recruited by Niujia Village, including Da Niu and other people he knew last time.
That night, Zheng Haoyu entertained them with wine and food. At the same time, he said: "Everyone, you are with me Zheng Haoyu now, as long as you sincerely do things for me Zheng, the remuneration is absolutely indispensable." If I Zheng stuttered, I would have you bite!"
Da Niu grinned and said, "Mr. Zheng, don't worry. The village chief has also explained that from now on, we will beg for a living from you, and everything will be up to you. Whoever you ask us to beat, we will beat!"
The other three men also responded, and in a trance, Zheng Haoyu felt like a landlord bully.
Zheng Haoyu nodded and said, "I'm not a stingy person either. Today you are here, and I have a small gift for you. ”
As he spoke, he asked Cuihua to bring four small bottles.
"What is this?" the four men were puzzled, and as soon as Da Niu opened the cap of the bottle, a strong smell of medicine emanated.
"This is, quenching fluid!" Da Niu was surprised.
"That's right, it's quenching fluid, for you. Zheng Haoyu nodded. Since these people have become his subordinates, of course, we must strengthen them.
According to the village chief Niu, these people are all in good physical fitness, and if they can be trained, they can all become military generals. It's just that the cost is too great for them to support themselves.
For Jung Ho-woo, it's not a problem. If one quenching solution is not enough, he can also provide a second or third serving.
Think about the escort team of Blackstone Town, plus Huang Kai, there are only eight generals. If there are four generals under his command, Huang Kai will have to weigh a few points at that time.
"This ...... This is too precious, I can't ask for it!" Da Niu didn't dare to do it, and the other three men also said: "This gift is too expensive, we can't afford it!"
"There's nothing to stand up to. Zheng Haoyu said, "This is also one of the rewards I give you, just accept it!"
"But I'm going to say it earlier, this quenching fluid is even better than what is sold on the market. Generally speaking, you can master the Yuan Force after using it. If someone wastes quenching fluid because they don't work, I don't want him!"
After Zheng Haoyu finished speaking, the four men all looked at the quenching fluid with fiery eyes! They are all strong men or hunters in the village, even if they are physically stronger than others, they are just villagers!
And once they master the Yuan Force and become military generals, their identities will be completely different. The villagers should respect them, and from now on get rid of the identity of ordinary people and become warriors!
This is simply a great gift to them! Da Niu hurriedly said: "We are only a little short of military generals, if we can't become military generals with this, we can simply go back hunting!"
"Mr. Zheng, we will definitely live up to your high expectations!"
The four men bowed to Zheng Haoyu in unison. So far, they are extremely grateful to Zheng Haoyu in their hearts.
