Chapter 65 Recruitment

Zhao Dian saw that Zhao Hanzhang gave their horses to Master Chen's father and daughter, and did not speak, and when they set off immediately by the rising sun, he couldn't help but be surprised, chased after two steps, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Hanzhang, "Sanniang, we are also going to find the second master and the son, why don't you let us go together?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang said: "They go to collect grain and grass, and if you leave again, we will have no one to protect us, so we will have to ask you to escort us for a ride, and when they come back, I will not stop you from going to your uncle and uncle." ”

Zhao Dian: "This ......"

Zhao Hanzhang's face sank, "What's the matter, now that the master of the Zhao family's big house can't command you?" ”

Zhao Dian immediately bowed his head, "The subordinates don't dare." ”

Zhao Hanzhang said coldly: "Pack your luggage, have breakfast, and set off as soon as possible." ”

The carriage was damaged, only one ox cart was still intact, the ox cart had to pull the coffin, and Wang and the others had to ride forward.

Zhao Hanzhang took her, and Fu Tinghan took Zhao Erlang, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and the speed was not fast at all.

As soon as the refugees saw them leave, they immediately dragged their families to follow.

When he reached the fork in the road at noon, Zhao Hanzhang stopped his horse, glanced back at the refugees who were following him near or far, and turned the horse's head forward.

She hugged her fists at everyone and said: "Everyone, look at the rut marks on the ground, the army is not far ahead, you are fast, you can catch up with the tail of the army tonight, slower, as long as you don't encounter the chaotic army, you can catch up tomorrow." ”

"I want to carry the coffin back to my hometown, and I will turn around here to Runan, and I will not be able to walk with you."

When the refugees heard this, they regretted it, but they could only respond.

Zhao Hanzhang was about to leave, and a few middle-aged people in the crowd shouted: "Girl, wait a minute." ”

Zhao Hanzhang looked back.

Then they saw a few women in their arms, and several children squeezed up, knelt on the ground, and said, "I don't know that the girl's family lacks servants to cultivate the fields, and the younger ones are willing to sell themselves, and only ask the girl to give them a bowl of rice to eat." ”

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at them one by one, and saw that although they were not richly dressed, they were also neat and thick fine linen, their clothes fit, there were no patches, and they didn't have a bad family background, but the twelve people in their line did not carry a single luggage, and a middle-aged man was carrying an unconscious woman on his back.

After a little contemplation, she understood that they had been robbed.

Zhao Hanzhang asked, "Do you know how to farm?" ”

"Yes," the middle-aged man said immediately: "We are all neighbors, and we do it ourselves every spring sowing and autumn harvest." ”

"I heard that your answer is not like that of ordinary peasants, but can you read and write?"

Middle-aged human: "When I was young, I read two books and barely recognized some words. ”

There are very few people who can read at the moment, Zhao Hanzhang immediately said: "Okay, I accepted it, what's your name?" ”

The other party has already led everyone to bow down, "Little Hu Zhi to see the girl." ”

The others obviously sold themselves for the first time, and they followed and bowed down, not like worshipping the master, but like worshipping the ancestors.

Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand at Cheng Bo, and Cheng Bo immediately went up to make arrangements.

Seeing this, some people in the crowd also came up and wanted to sell themselves.

They went to chase the army in order to have their backs against the big trees to enjoy the shade, and they could follow the army back to Luoyang in the future.

But they didn't expect it to be so difficult to escape, and before they could keep up with the army, their luggage was robbed, and even half of their families died.

To keep up with the army, they also have to be self-reliant, and if they can find a way to survive now, they don't have to follow the army.

Yesterday they all inquired, and rushed out with them, led by the three families of the former Zhongshu Ling Zhao family, the Jia family and the Chen family, among which the Zhao family was the most powerful.

After yesterday's events, everyone knows that Zhao Hanzhang is a good person, and following her may not be worse than following the army.

The emperor is so noble, they follow behind, in case the chaotic army catches up, maybe they will be pushed out as a human shield.

So when he saw that someone successfully threw himself under Zhao Hanzhang's door, some people immediately followed suit.

But Zhao Hanzhang didn't accept everyone, seeing that there were many people who came to vote, she simply asked everyone to stop and rest, and let the horses rest for a while, and then asked Cheng Bo to take people to count the people to be collected.

"Those who have craftsmanship are preferred, and those who can read and count are better," Zhao Hanzhang said: "For the rest, look at the character, don't bring too many people, the team is cumbersome and difficult to walk." ”

Cheng Bo didn't quite understand, "Sanniang, why are we buying people on the road?" People are not worth much now, and when they return to Runan, if there is a shortage of people, they will buy again. ”

Zhao Hanzhang said: "What we lack is not people who make efforts, what we lack is people who can manage people, what we lack is people who have craftsmanship, and we will accept the good ones when we meet them on the road, and we don't have to be rigid." ”

Zhao Hanzhang said: "I still have the money for a bowl of rice." ”

She just got so many assets from Zhao Zhongyu, she is a girl, her younger brother is a fool, her mother has not returned to her hometown for many years, and she suddenly went back to inherit a lot of family business, and the more people who have it in her hands, the better.

Cheng Bo understood, a pair of old eyes stared at the people who came to defect, he had lived all his life, and he had seen all kinds of people around Zhao Changyu, and he didn't dare to say that he had the ability to recognize people, but he could still see the character of ordinary people.

He picked and chose nineteen people like this, except for the twelve people that Zhao Hanzhang opened his mouth to order, he only barely took a fancy to seven people.

Cheng Bo simply asked them to sign a deed of sale on the spot, and those who couldn't write were pressed by their fingerprints, and then took them to kowtow to Zhao Hanzhang to confess the master.

Zhao Hanzhang was also generous, and with a wave of his hand, he asked Cheng Bo to take out the steamed buns that were so hard that they could be stoned to death and distribute them to them, one for each person, and there were no more.

Uncle Cheng touched the deflated grain bag, and wanted to ask Sanniang, who was sitting calmly, how did she think they were not short of food?

Fu Tinghan glanced at the grain bag, and was also a little worried, "If they can't bring back the grain and grass in time......

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Didn't you say that there is a gathering point in front, if they haven't come back tomorrow, I'll borrow food." ”

Fu Tinghan's first reaction, "Do you have someone you know in front?" ”

"No, but we can make some friends."

He turned his head to look at her solemn little face, and silently withdrew his gaze for a while, if it was her, it was really possible.

After lunch, the group set off after a short rest, they separated from most of the refugees, the crowd that had been together slowly divided into two groups, and some people did not choose to take refuge in Zhao Hanzhang, but decided to follow her and did not chase the army.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't stop them, and even suppressed the speed so that they could keep up.

Zhao Dian slowly escorted him, he knew that it was impossible to chase Zhao Zhongyu today, and he might not even be able to go the day after tomorrow.

And......

He glanced at his subordinates, they were obviously very moved by Sanniang's charity, and if he continued like this, he didn't know how many people he would be able to take away in the end.

The group went forward tiredly, and Zhao Hanzhang, in order not to let the horse get too tired, got off the horse halfway and led the horse forward.

Fu Tinghan also dismounted and walked beside her, "I seem to see the house." ”

Zhao Hanzhang squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and said with a slight smile: "I saw it too, let's go!" ”
