Ning Changrong looked at the person standing in front of him with some amusement.

The others were attracted by the high price, only to find out that they had entered the thief's den after they arrived, but when they came, the family brought them over, and now there is no way to get to the thief's den, so they can only pinch their noses and admit it, but fortunately, the other party keeps his promise and really gives them a monthly salary of fifty taels per month, and gives them a little advance in the first month, and they are not afraid of the way they run.

Even if they want to, they can't run, there are often thieves all around here, where can they run, drag their families with their mouths, but they are afraid that they will be arrested before they get out of the city gate.

It turned out that he just wanted them to cast a wide net to find someone, but he didn't expect to catch a big fish, and the one standing in front of him was the former Guozi priest wine.

It is equivalent to the principal of the highest institution.

This principal still has an official status.

"You, you, you can really do it." Ning Changrong smiled at the humanity beside him.

"Hehe, as long as Mr. Ning is satisfied, is there enough people? If it's not enough, we'll look for it. ”

Zhang Xifan was just an ordinary peasant family, and he ran to the north if he couldn't survive in the south, but he didn't expect to live better than before after running to Chang Yuan's rule in the north, because he joined Chang Yuan's army by chance during a conscription, went to the battlefield several times, made some small contributions, and saved a few acres of land at home, and he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking.

When he said that he wanted to find someone to help him go to the south to "invite people", Zhang Xifan signed up directly, he was a southerner, and he walked through many places when he fled the famine, and he was more familiar with the places over there, and now he is also a squad leader in the army, so he asked him to take people with him.

And he doesn't look down on Xiucai, and the lowest people who are invited back are lifters.

In the past, the people enjoyed the preferential treatment of the imperial court, and their lives were not bad, but now the people are not happy, wars are raging, the fields are not harvested, and the three princes of Nanchen are fighting against each other, and they are pulling strong people everywhere, and even the tax-exempt people have to pay taxes.

Lifting people can only be people with their tails between them.

After this group of people were taken captive here, they convinced themselves that they adapted quickly and immediately compromised.

What if you don't compromise? Do you really think that people's knives are ornaments?

Ning Changrong smiled: "You kid, this job is really suitable for you." Okay, you've made a few trips, and I'll give you credit for it. ”

Zhang Xifan smiled, his eyes flashed with a bright light, "Then thank you Mr. Ning, I will take people down, if there is anything, Mr. Ning will command." He paused, and said a little embarrassed: "Mr. Ning, you told me earlier that you could give them a maximum of eighty taels of silver, but I thought that this old man had been a big official, so he promised him 100 taels of silver without authorization, do you see this?" ”

"It's worth it, it's okay for the price. Rest assured. ”

Zhang Xifan smiled and retreated.

Dong Zhongren has been a Zhizhou, and he has experience in reading and teaching, he is simply the best candidate, Ning Changrong didn't expect them to be crooked, and they actually tied up such a baby, not to mention that one hundred taels is worth two hundred taels.

Although it seems that these people are paid more than them, they are rewarded with land, and this group of people only has money, and land is more useful than money.

Dong Zhongren politely refused the other party and was forcibly tied up by the other party from home, and took a boat all the way to the thief's den.

Along the way, he was already uneasy, knowing that this big family in the north was not a serious family, but he didn't expect it to be wrong.

What kind of big family, isn't it a den of thieves?

No wonder those who hide it dare not show it to others.

"The old man won't help you train people."

Dong Zhongren stood with his hands in his hands.

"Mr. Dong is a Confucian scholar, and what he believes in should be Confucius, right?"

Dong Zhongren glanced at him, "Exactly." I think you seem to be a scholar too, how can you be willing to succumb to the den of thieves and be the leader of thieves. ”

Good guys, not only are they unwilling to help them teach their students, but they also want to rebel against themselves.

Ning Changrong laughed at himself: "The old gentleman is wrong, I am not a scholar, I am just an ordinary person who has studied private school in the countryside for a few years. ”

Dong Zhongren frowned, not knowing whether the other party was humble or true.

Judging from the actions that the other party had just arranged for those who were tied up with him, coercion and temptation were all on the move, and his words were extraordinary, and he was even very loved, judging from the performance of the Xifan kid who tied him up, he knew that this person had a high status in the den of hidden thieves.

This person should be considered to have some talent, how can it be that he has only studied private school for a few years?

"Confucius Sage pays attention to teaching without class, how can he understand the old man, this person who believes in Confucianism still pays attention to the view of the door, and is unwilling to teach these poor people? Is this how Mr. Dong revered Confucius? Ning Changrong sneered.

Dong Zhongren can't be like other scholars, those people are just tool people, but he also knows a little about Dong Zhongren in front of him, he is famous for his iron bones, and he was surprised that the other party would be brought by Zhang Xifan this time.

But if you want the other party to do things for them, I'm afraid it's difficult, and if you use the other party's family to threaten him, I'm afraid it's also difficult.

To deal with such a person, you have to grasp his weakness.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous," Dong Zhongren glanced at him, "Sage Kong pays attention to teaching without class, but he doesn't teach people to be with thieves and help them abuse." ”

Ning Changrong smiled, the other party had already fallen into the trap of his logic.

"I want to ask Mr. Dong, who is the thief to identify, and who is qualified to identify others as thieves? Is it the Nanchen court that caused chaos in the world and made the people miserable? But has the Southern Chen Imperial Court been high up since ancient times? And how did they take over the world? Were they the thieves you call before they took over the world? ”

Dong Zhongshu suddenly became dumb, and he was powerless to be asked by the other party, he opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but he didn't know where to speak.

Ning Changrong continued: "Mr. Dong, you said that General Chang is a den of thieves, and we are thieves, but who can know who will take down this world in the end?" Will we still be thieves then? ”

"The old gentleman said that aiding the people is abuse, so according to you, serving the imperial court, wantonly conscripting the people into the army, and making the people of the world miserable, isn't it considered to help the abuse?"

"Besides, these children I asked you to teach are just ordinary children, are their fathers rebels, and they live under the rule of rebels, are they thieves?"

"Before saying that they are anti-thieves, they still have a layer of identity, they are just ordinary people, a group of ordinary people who want to live."

Ning Changrong smiled and pointed at himself, "Just like me, there are countless people like me who have been forced to rebel by the imperial court, are we willing to be thieves?" I think Mr. Dong should have the answer in his heart. ”

After Ning Changrong finished speaking, he stood quietly and looked at the other party, falling into deep thought.

How the world collapsed, how the people were miserable, how could Dong Zhongren not know, if he didn't understand, he wouldn't have said in the court that it was not suitable to conscript the people to be poor, and he would not have angered the three princes who had not been on the throne for a long time, and finally ended up being deposed.

It's just that he has been loyal to the monarch and patriotic for most of his life, and he has always been loyal to Nan Chen, and suddenly now let him do things for the anti-thief, he really can't step through the hurdle in his heart.

"Mr. Dong's family is tired of traveling and traveling, and they must be tired, so I will arrange a room for you to rest for three days."

Dong Zhongren understood that the other party was giving him three days to consider.
