The art of war is cloudy, thinking about retreating before thinking about progress, and defeating before expecting victory! The changes up and down the Chao Mansion are inevitable, and everyone knows that the master is going to be resolute again!

And so it is!

Chao Gai understands that the crisis is only temporarily resolved, and sooner or later there will be moths. Therefore, exchanging money and food with the second young man of the Ma family is to prepare for recruiting troops and buying horses.

Of course, there are still important things to deal with before that.

As a modern man, he knows that fortresses are often breached from within. It's like colluding with Han Bolong for money, and those who defect to the enemy are proof of this. Therefore, if you are outside, you must first settle inside, and then you can worry less about it.

Internal instability is a big taboo, or it is to get rid of those who are not strong-willed! The entire Chao Mansion only respects him, and Chao Gai does not listen to anyone.

More than a dozen people caught the day before the strongman's night attack ushered in their fate.

If anyone dares to eat inside and outside, put it in a sack and sink to the bottom of the river. The kind-hearted master Chao Gai was ruthless, and after announcing the sins of these people in public, he gave a little money to disperse, and it was useless to cry and shout, and they were all driven out of Chao Mansion.

He knew that this was not enough, so he made a drastic rectification. The laws of the Song Dynasty were more perfect than those of the Tang Dynasty, and the tribal system was changed to an employment relationship. That is, there are no slaves, protected by law. But the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, although there are laws, but there are still slaves and maids in remote places, and the guards of large families, maids are like this.

If they can't live, no one wants to sell themselves into slavery!

Chao Gai's concept was influenced by later generations, and naturally he was not used to this. After learning that there were more than 200 servants in the village, he made up his mind to return the contract documents.

Buy people's hearts and lay a solid foundation!

That night, Chao Gai went to the old butler Comber and mentioned the incident.

"Master, think twice! The servants of the village are all left to you by the old master. The old butler Comber thumped his chest after figuring out Chao Gai's intentions. Two generations of elders managed the affairs of the mansion and developed this bad habit of picking on the door.

"Comber, it's worth exchanging a contract for a heart." Chao Gai was unmoved and resolute: "This bad habit must be curbed, not stubborn." ”

"Woo, sir......"

"I have made up my mind on this matter, and I will not persuade him again." Chao Gai interrupted the wailing old man. Looking at the wrinkles and gray hair left by his life's hard work, his heart softened. The tone is softening, explaining your true intentions and explaining the pros and cons.

Chao Kang couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles, and finally reluctantly agreed.

……

The next day, early in the morning!

The person who sold himself into slavery got back his contract certificate and was no longer a slave. If it is twenty taels of silver to leave the road, this news will spread in Chaofu.

It caused a huge sensation in the banker!

is no longer a slave and maid, and has obtained a free body, naturally many people are happy.

However, some rejoice, and some grieve!

A few old yard workers who were old and had good bones ran to the inner courtyard and cried: "Woo woo, master, you are trying to drive us away!" But at our age, our home is long gone, where can we go? ”

As soon as these old things took the lead, many people cried and grabbed the ground. Talking about not wanting to leave, not knowing where to go after leaving, etc.

The old butler Comber pretended to dissuade him, but in fact he was a move to add fuel to the fire. made the inner courtyard of the mansion cry and scream like crying and mourning, which provoked Chao Gai.

"Damn, your uncle!" He rushed out with a simple knife, and scolded with a black face: "Cry and cry..., cry a pinch of birds!" Shut up Lao Tzu. ”

Master Chao is famous all over the rivers and lakes and green forests, and it is also the same in the house. As soon as the throat went down, the fake cry and real howl disappeared immediately.

Later, he first explained the benefits of not being a slave, and then made it clear that if he stayed, he had to be loyal, and this small turmoil gradually subsided under the combination of grace and power.

This trick still worked very well, and the vast majority of them got the contract documents. Looking at the years and days of selling himself into slavery, he remembered the past and cried but did not leave.

Of course, there are also a very small number of people who take the contract documents and go to the old housekeeper Chao Kang. In front of everyone's eyes, some are generous, and some cover their heads and hide their faces......

"Everyone has their own ambitions, don't force them!" Comber smiled stiffly and muttered to himself.

Liu San and Lai Yong were secretly instructed by someone to jump up and down. Demagoguery is good for freedom, introduce good places..., and go around smashing others to leave.

The people who were originally wavering made a decision, and people left Chaofu one after another.

This situation lasted until the afternoon.

Instead of anyone coming to collect the money and leave, many people approached Chao Gai to complain. said that Liu San and Lai Yong's two "-stirring sticks" are not a thing.

In the end, the servants left the five houses, saying that they had defected to their relatives. Seventeen of the guards walked away. Forty-one men in all, and eight hundred and twenty taels of silver were expended. The old housekeeper had a feeling of being betrayed by others, and scolded the white-eyed wolf for this.

Chao Gai can see it, and twenty taels of silver are too worthwhile. Didn't Li Taibai say it? He who forsaken me shall not remain yesterday, and he who disturbs my heart shall be troubled today. Spending a little money can solve the problem - removing hidden dangers, but you can't ask for it, what a cost-effective thing!

Liu San and Lai Yong are typical villains, although they were scolded or even driven away in public. can receive money in private, and feel that Chao Gai is benevolent and amiable. packed their bags and left Chao Mansion, and then continued their rumor-mongering mission.

"Hey, where is my henchman!"

looked at the happy backs of the two anti-bone boys. Chao Gai shouted again in his heart. If these two want to become grooms, they will definitely be the same Chen Sheng.

Fortunately, the swingers in the house were eliminated, and the interior was rectified. At the same time, the recruitment process is also coming to an end. The team brought back by copying the strongman's lair had other arrangements in addition to the old and weak, and more than 100 young people became guards. Coupled with the defection of strongman captives, nearly two hundred guards were recruited.

After the personal information is registered, it is organized into two teams of 100 people.

In addition to the original guards in the house, there are more than 300 guards in the house. As long as you train strictly, you can become an elite, and you are not afraid to encounter a strong man.

In ancient times, there was no entertainment, and people basically went to bed when it was dark. Chao Gai initially adapted to this rhythm, and went back to his room to rest after dinner. Thinking about what happened in the past few days, I fell asleep unconsciously.

I slept very soundly! The next day, before dawn, he got up. After a few days of cleaning my face and hands and rubbing my teeth and rinsing my mouth with coarse salt, I was still not used to it, and I made up my mind to improve my living conditions!

Breakfast was egg lean porridge with two pancakes! After he finished eating, he walked around the house. When I came to the threshing floor and saw the guards training, my brow furrowed. It wasn't long before I joined the escort team and practiced martial arts.

Having been a soldier, he naturally looked down on the training methods of the Song Dynasty. Without basic skills, without years of training, they are just ordinary people with weapons. It's okay to deal with ordinary thieves, but going to the battlefield is purely sending them to death.

If something is extraordinary, then do something extraordinary!

Chao Gai didn't know when the enemy in the shadows would make a move, and what tricks he would play. You can only seize the time to strengthen yourself and have enough strength to deal with it.

The Zhuang guards are unstable, the middle door is wide open, and there are many flaws. Therefore, Chao Gai saw that he was not satisfied with the training of the guards, so he returned to the study of the inner courtyard, studied ink and picked up a pen, and wrote a training code based on these fatal flaws.

Bad habits must be corrected, and defects must be mended!

Combined with the training methods of this era and later generations, a set of training programs was formulated. He was confident that he would be able to go into battle and kill the enemy after three or two months of training according to the method.

He checked it carefully, and there was nothing wrong, and he went to the courtyard to stretch his hands and feet. Then he successively used cold weapons such as waist knives and Pu knives to play with them.

In fact, a few nights ago, the secret room under the cellar not only dug up twelve thousand taels of large gold ingots engraved with the twelve zodiac signs, but also dug up an iron box that was quite old, and found a pair of broken armor and a rusty three-pointed two-edged knife, as well as a gold leaf engraved with the martial arts.

The leather thread of the broken armor was weathered, and a pile of metal pieces remained.

The rusty, three-pointed, two-edged knife was soaked in alkaline water.

And that gold leaf, out of prudence, did not take the liberty of practicing without a high finger. Instead, wait for the teacher to be hired and proficient in cold weapons.

After all, Lao Tzu didn't want to be Yue Buqun's second.

Chao Gai wielded the big knife awkwardly, slashing left and right, without any order. As a veteran who once carried a gun, he really hasn't played this kind of broadsword with cold weapons except for trench stabs, and can only accumulate experience from scratch.

It wasn't until the third pole of the day that he was sweating profusely that he stopped dancing with guns and sticks. Tell the servants to remember to bring lunch and then come to the study to read and practice calligraphy.

Yes, it's just reading books and practicing calligraphy!

He served as a soldier for a few years in the 21st century, and after retiring from the army, he worked as a hotel chef and a spectator. It's a high school graduate, and in ancient times, he was considered a scholar of ancient times. However, there are many differences between simplified and traditional characters. In addition, there are few opportunities to write with a brush, so it is even more necessary to practice.

In today's environment, he still expects to meet talented girls in the future to show their talents by drawing on poetry, and the words he writes are like dogs crawling and thrown to his grandmother's house.

"Plagiarism" is grandly said to be a reference! It can be seen that Master Chao is not willing to be lonely. Well, he is not an old-timer now, and he scoffs at the kind of fool who does not marry wives and concubines, and specializes in making friends with good men in the world.

The ancients said that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great!

People are not romantic teenagers, and they always have to leave some traces when they come to this world!

……

Yuncheng Songjiazhuang.

In a room in the inner house, a seven-foot-long, sturdy man was grinning. This person has good facial features, a white face, and a pair of ears that are particularly large.

If Chao Gai can recognize it at a glance here, this is the white-eyed wolf Han Bolong. Now this benevolent brother can suffer and be hit on the shoulder by the log. The left shoulder of the shirtless upper body turned blue and purple, and it was swollen and tall.

"Hey, I'm in trouble! But you stubbornly said that it was okay and endured a little pain. Another five-short-figure, dark-skinned man with a face full of unbearable face, muttered while stepping forward to support Han Bolong's shoulders and straighten it hard.

With a clattering bone, Han Bolong's whole body trembled in pain, and he snorted again and again.

"Ah, Brother Gongming, things are messed up." Han Bolong slowed down for a long time before speaking.

The black and short guy was Song Jiang, showing a gentle smile: "Brother, don't blame yourself, just stay here with me and heal your injuries first." ”

"Brother, don't worry, I'll contact ...... when my younger brother recovers."

"Don't worry, although Chao Gai is upright but not stupid, now he has a precaution!"
