The next day, before dawn, people came to the village one after another to sign up. Shi Xiu, Chao Qiang, who received them, was accepted into the Self-Defense Forces if they met.

In addition, Shi Xiu also has a special task, which selects those who are clever and cautious to be led by him. Because I slept with Chao Gai last night, I had a long talk. The training of guards in the village is temporary, and there will be major commissions in the future.

"My brother values me so much, why don't you do things with all your heart?" Shi Xiu looked at the crop men one by one, and asked meticulously with a straight face, testing.

When I think of Chao Gai's evaluation of him, "strong and tenacious, very fine, and show off wisdom"! It's only twelve words, but it makes him prefer to be liver and brain.

Because I have lived for more than 20 years, I have met someone who really understands me for the first time. From the bottom of my heart, I think that there will be a new path with such a brother.

The death of a confidant is the truth!

The Chaofu Self-Defense Forces are a disguise, and to put it bluntly, they are private soldiers!

The cost is naturally not small, and the selected guards will pay a year's salary in advance. Boxes of yellow copper coins were taken out of the warehouse, counted and distributed in strings.

The old housekeeper Chao Kang didn't say much this time, and he was uncharacteristically warm. Because Chao Gai found him alone last night and said earnestly.

"Only oneself has the power to deter and strength. in order to ensure that interests are not violated. Spend a little money now, and the officers and soldiers will not dare to look at us in the future. ”

People are old and treacherous, horses are old and slippery, rabbits don't grow teeth when they are old!

Chao Kang has lived for most of his life and can see clearly, so he naturally supports it strongly. He usually buckles the rope, but he is warm-hearted, and he is not ambiguous at the critical moment!

For example, the dolls of the tenant family are generally thin, and they are instructed to add vegetables and rice to the canteen. The guards were uniformly dressed, and the wives had already been arranged to hurry up. If any family is in difficulty, they will also give more money or decorate rice noodles......

The news spread, and more people signed up!

The crowd in the open space at the main gate of Chaozhuang was surging, crowded, and the gatehouse was almost crowded!

The whole house is busy with this! Prepare adequate meals in the room; The guards kept order outside; The old woman who knows how to needlework rushes to make robes; The literate bookkeeper was also redeployed to act as a clerk to register information......

Chao Gai was not idle, and personally selected strong men and tall horses. Prepare to train your elite based on your own experience and the methods recorded in the gold leaf. However, the treatment of Chaofu is attractive, and there is an endless stream of people who come to sign up.

For this reason, he is busy! Fortunately, with Shi Xiu, Comber helped himself much easier. I was lazy and went to the brewery, and the blacksmith shop gave instructions. For example, the distillation technology of sake brewing, and the carbon adsorption method of forging......

Brewing can only give theoretical advice, but iron forging can really be done twice. Before Chao Gai crossed, his grandfather was a hunter and knew a lot of forging methods. Frying steel, making steel, alloy is the head.

A certain big man is in a hurry and out of control! simply crossed the horse and whipped up a few guards to inspect several brick kilns outside the village.

I learned that these were fired blue bricks and black tiles and sold to people with good families. It is also one of the sources of income for Chaozhuang, but because of technical problems, the rate of brick and tile waste remains high, and the qualified products burned every month are limited.

Chao Gai immediately summoned the masters of several brick kiln yards to point out the appropriate temperature and firing time, and where to open vents in the kiln pit. I discussed the method of lime refining with everyone before leaving.

I don't feel like an industry master in the eyes of these masters. It also does not occur to me that novel proposals will surprise me in the future.

At noon, the acquaintance on the willow tree kept screaming!

Chao Gai returned to the house from the back door, and when he came to the threshing floor, he saw at least 400 people lined up, and then found Chao Qiang, a teacher who guided the escort training.

"Xiaoqiang, how many years have you been with me?"

Chao Gai led Chao Qiang out of the threshing floor to the room, asking questions as he went. He deliberately found fault with his words, and he didn't understand how he met his henchmen.

"Master, on a snowy day that year, I was only eight or nine years old when I wandered in the north, and it has been almost twenty years! Hey, hey, hey......" Chao Qiang touched his head honestly. Looking at the tower man walking in front, his eyes were full of gratitude.

"You're not too young, when will you become a family?"

"Hey, hey, I'm so ugly, which girl can take a fancy to me?"

"Damn, do you have more noses or fewer ears than others? It's okay to scold less people, try to control your temper, and there will naturally be marriage. ”

Chao Gai patted Chao Qiang's shoulder, chatting with this man as he walked. He trusts this hardcore henchman very much, and he doesn't bother to talk around the bush. bluntly informed Shi Xiu that he was temporarily transferred to the escort team to teach martial arts, horsemanship, etc., and asked Chao Qiang to study and cooperate with him modestly.

originally thought that this arrangement would make the man complain a few words. At least say a few words with a sad and indignant expression on your face, sir, you don't believe me or something like that.

Unexpectedly, Chao Qiang was very happy, and Le's straight jump circle was like becoming a groom's official. Wen Crepe calls those who know me, master!

Chao Gai was confused and asked curiously about the situation.

It turned out that two days ago, the escort team recruited 180 new people, which was a bit reluctant. Now that there are three hundred guards pouring in, and the original number of guards has swelled to more than six hundred, don't think that this number is not too much.

It is conceivable to form a formation of six hundreds!

Chao Qiang and Li Rong are really hard to train every day, and there are always people who can't keep up. The man was thinking about promoting a few deputies to assist in training. And Chao Gai's arrangement has already come, how can you not make him happy?

Chao Gai secretly breathed a sigh of relief after figuring it out, for fear that this honest man would be cranky. When the time comes, it's a little embarrassing.

Fortunately, this confidant has no heart.

Chao Gai asked Chao Qiang to go to the room to prepare in advance, and saw the back of him striding away. I also have some feelings in my heart, the times create heroes. I used to like to do it if I was not convinced, and I would never have this kind of idea of taking into account the emotions of others.

Now that they are starting to think about the overall situation, is this the common problem of being a leader? Chao Gai silently warned that he could not forget his original intention, and there was a beginning and an end!

At least he can't disappoint his brother who follows him!

"Sir...... the clothes you want have been sewn!" His mind drifted a little, and several old women who were good at needlework came running with a package.

Chao Gai's secret passage is so fast, yesterday I ordered to go down and make two sets of clothes according to the size, but I didn't expect it to be fine today. However, when I saw a few old women with bloodshot eyes, I understood that they were working overtime overnight.

"Well, it's a blessing! Go to the account office and get your reward. He took the heavy package, and let a few old women go with a thousand thanks. It looks like if there is a girl, it means to stuff it to the master.

Money is just a number to me, but it's precious to others. The people of this era are simple and kind, but they have not met a good family. The one in the temple only knew how to ask for it, but he didn't know that he was digging his own grave.

We all know that water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat!

But throughout the ages, how many can do it?

Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer! Chao Gai was in a slightly heavy mood, and took the package to the front yard gatehouse to find Shi Xiu: "San Lang, how many people have you recruited?" ”

"Brother, there are 180 people who meet the standard in the morning. It's a selection of people according to your requirements, otherwise there will be more. There are still people signing up. ”

"Okay, Saburo will take a lot of trouble in the future and train them well."

Chao Gai smiled and nodded, and then handed the big package in his hand to Shi Xiu: "San Lang, when you voted for the village yesterday, you saw that the clothes on your body were torn in many places. Deliberately asked the old woman in the house to make two sets, try it quickly, it doesn't fit. ”

"Brother, are you ......" Shi Xiu suddenly got up when she heard this, and her nose was a little sour. Looking at the package in Chao Gai's hand, he wanted to take it but was a little restrained.

"Brother Fool has long said that when you come to the house, then treat this place as your home. Look at your dignified eight-foot man, do your best to be this little daughter. Chao Gai laughed with a slight reproach, and stepped forward to stuff the package into Shi Xiu's hand.

He didn't know what this man was about giving him clothes. Anyway, Song Jiang paid out of his own pocket to buy a robe for Wu Song in Chai Jin's mansion. At that time, the hero who fought the tiger was moved to tears, and he worshiped his brother!

You can send me richer than you, and the quality of the gift is even better!

Not to mention Chao Gai's careful thinking, but this trick really works!

"My brother treats me like this, and I can't repay him even if I die." Shi Xiu held the package and thanked him.

The burly man's eyes glistened with tears, and he only felt a warm current surging in his heart. has been adrift for many years in poverty, and has never been remembered like this. Where is the clothes wrapped in the hand, it is clearly friendship.

"Arise, you and my brother, why do you need to do this?" Chao Gai hurriedly helped Shi Xiu up: "Foolish brother is stupid, it is natural to give brother clothes." ”

Shi Xiu nodded heavily. Immediately, in the urging, he opened the package and put on a green silk robe.

Chao Gai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the clothes were decent, and Shi Xiu put on new clothes, his figure was straight, and his temperament changed sharply.

"Thank you, brother, for your concern." Shi Xiu thanked him again.

Chao Gai said hello to the guards and pulled Shi Xiu outside. Passing through the grassroots courtyard to the house, Chao Qiang, who was waiting here, quickly greeted him.

The three of them exchanged a few words of greeting, and entered the side hall hand in hand.

Chao Gai considered that Shi Xiu was in office to help train the guards, and introduced him to Chao Qiang. Heroes love men, and Shi Xiu played a trick in the field. Chao Qiang, who is honest by nature, was convinced and became familiar with each other.

The three of them pushed the cups and changed the lamps, talking and laughing, and they also did not forget the business. After some discussions, the Chaofu Self-Defense Forces made a preliminary plan.

Originally, more than 100 guards from Chaofu became squad leaders and brought newcomers. It plays the role of the old and the new, which is convenient for management and can also carry out training faster. Among them, the good performance is promoted to the captain, and the treatment and incentives are improved.

……

The scorching sun scorched the earth, and the weather after the Dragon Boat Festival became hotter and hotter.

Chao Gai took Shi Xiu, and Chao Qiang left the side hall of Chao Mansion with a smile.

"Hey, hey, third brother, teach me a few more hands in the future."

"Brother Qiang, just call me San Lang, the younger brother won't hide his secrets."

"Yes, be more close and close, the family should be more close and close, no need to be polite."

……

Shi Xiu attaches great importance to love and righteousness, treats people sincerely, and Chao Qiang is even more honest. There was nothing wrong with Chao Gai at all, after a meal, Chao Qiang respected Shi Xiu's martial arts, Shi Xiu praised Chao for his strong strength, and he cherished each other, like brothers.
