In order not to be truthful, He Chengye also persuaded Zhang Chang to move Zhang Biao and the wounded soldiers he raised out of the barracks-

This matter, at best, is called valuing love and righteousness. At worst, it is called buying people's hearts.

Even the general Fan Xiao had a headache about the wounded soldiers, and he fought with the household department a lot, and he didn't suffer less.

Fan Xiao has a special experience, first as an uncle, then as a general, and has won the trust of His Majesty, he is not afraid of ginseng with rough skin and thick meat, but he is still anxious, what about Zhang Chang?

The elders of his family have passed away, and the relatives in Beijing are still counting on the military exploits of their brothers, and now they are walking on thin ice.

The reason is easy to understand, but the practice is difficult.

Zhang Biao took the initiative to leave the camp with the wounded soldiers, and Zhang Chang angrily smashed things for a day.

Qinglong City is stable, but the life of the Xiao cavalry army is becoming more and more stretched.

Li Xiu envied the two brothers for occupying Qinglong City to eat and drink, how could they not envy Li Xiu for enjoying themselves in the north.

However, these are not easy to say to Lu Xu, the grain officer only vaguely mentioned that "Qinglong City is not as free as the north" and the military regulations of the Xiao Cavalry Army are strict, etc.

Lu Xu didn't know that the dark tide was turbulent, but he thought that the Xiao cavalry army was collecting protection money in Qinglong City, and finally provoked the local officials, and they were rolling up their sleeves to grab their pigtails.

Since it is not easy for the Xiao cavalry to borrow his livestock, Lu Xu can only think of other ways.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Can't you leave Shuozhou...... Can you go to Dengzhou? Dengzhou County also belongs to Shuozhou. I organized people to send grain from Longxing to Shuozhou, and you only need to bring your livestock to Dengzhou to pick up the grain. ”

The eyes of the two lit up.

Once upon a time, I really couldn't.

How can the garrison run around?

But isn't it now that the Ministry of Household Affairs does not approve money and allows them to be self-sufficient in Manshuo Prefecture to suppress bandits?

As long as they don't leave Shuozhou, who cares if they go to suppress bandits or hunt?

Seeing that there was a play, Lu Xu was also happy.

He organized people to go to the north and Shuozhou in Guanyang, and there must not be many people who were willing, if they only went to Chongning, there would definitely be many people who were moved.

Even if he doesn't recruit enough people in Guanyang, he can still hire porters from Chongning and Wenqiu, and he has to go through anyway.

Transporting grain first, then talking about goods, there are more people transporting grain, won't business come out?

When the merchants and porters find it safe to get from Guanyang to Chongning, there will be people who are willing to go further.

Lu Xu is not in a hurry, Dengzhou next year, Baoshan the year after tomorrow, come one by one, and sooner or later he can go to the north.

Now that we have discussed it, we must act immediately, and while it is not snowing yet, we can transport it as soon as possible.

Lu Xu didn't plan to stay in Qinglong City anymore.

Lu Xu: "My lord, I'll advance the money for the grain first, and wait for the end of next year to calculate the dividends, and then refund more and make up for the less, what do you think?" ”

How is it?

Of course!

Without waiting for Zhang Biao to answer, the grain officer wanted to agree for him.

Who doesn't want to get white?

Of course, Zhang Biao has no opinion, although their cavalry army is not as miserable as the northern army, but the food is not abundant, especially the refined grain, which can only be eaten in three days.

It is definitely unrealistic to let Lu Xu raise their cavalry, but one more pound is one pound, even if you can put two more spoonfuls of rice in a pot of rice every day.

Both sides happily reached a willingness to cooperate and were very satisfied.

Lu Xu: "Oh, there is one more thing I want to bother my lord." ”

Zhang Xiao and Yan Yuese: "You say yes." ”

Lu Xu: "It's just that my shop lacks some manpower, and I'm not familiar with Qinglong City, I don't know if the adults can help me find some reliable guys." ”

You can stuff people casually, read the bills casually, don't send people outside to keep an eye on them, come in and work!

Zhang Xiao smiled.

He sent people to watch near Lu Xu's shop, firstly, to see what he was going to sell for several days because he was repairing a house and hiring a bricklayer, and secondly, he was afraid that he would have any trouble when he just opened the shop.

I didn't want Lu Xu to make too much movement, and the people he sent were shocked, and he couldn't sit still and ran back to report before it got dark.

Zhang Biao originally only wanted to get an extra pocket income, and he didn't plan to ask for it, but when his subordinates came back and said it, Zhang Biao was also surprised.

Sold thousands of taels of goods in one day, no wonder Lu Xu has been hinting that his twenty-one dividend is very high.

He immediately thought of using the money to buy grain and grass.

It's just that this kid is also interesting, if it is someone else, it is to know that he sent someone to keep an eye on it, and he will not put it on the surface, but he will only act as if he doesn't know, Lu Xu is good, not only said it, but also put on the idea of asking him for manpower.

Zhang Piao: "What kind of person do you want?" ”

Lu Xu: "Will settle accounts!" It's better to be able to keep accounts! Good temper, don't quarrel with people, down-to-earth and hard-working, and love to talk and laugh, love to chat with guests, our shop needs all kinds of talents! ”

Zhang Piao: "Even Mr. Accounts wants me to help you find it?" ”

Lu Xu: "It's the bookkeeper who wants you to help me find it." ”

He is short of talents, rather than squeezing a duck from his own people to put on the shelf, or hiring an account office that he doesn't trust, it is better to let Zhang Biao come out.

"Our caravan is less literate, and the account room in my hometown is taken care of by my neighbors while studying, our shopkeeper was originally a farmer in our village, I just found an account room, and he didn't know if he sold him, or you look for it, the character you recommend must be good, there are many talents in the army, if there is any disarming and veterans who are worried about finding a job to do, it will be better."

Zhang Piao: "You're not afraid that I will arrange an account office to sell you?" ”

Lu Xu: "Where can I be, I heard that you are from a big family, can you take a fancy to my little money?" ”

What is in Qinglong City, he probably counts, and it is impossible for an account office to empty the money under Lu Jiusheng's nose.

Zhang Xiao smiled and said nothing, acquiescing to Lu Xu's high hat.

No matter how lonely and embarrassed his family is, he will not be able to calculate a grocery store.

Zhang Biao sighed secretly, and said in his heart that he finally knew why this kid could fool He Chengye.

He Chengye hates intrigues and tricks the most, and Lu Xu's way is to put everything on the surface, although he is clever, but he is also open, He Chengye just doesn't like businessmen, and he won't hate him much.

Zhang Piao: "I really have a group of people who meet your requirements, but it depends on whether you are willing to use them." ”

Lu Xu didn't want to think about it: "Yes, I am willing to recommend you." ”

Zhang Yuwaner: "Let's talk about it after you see it." ”

He sighed, "Tomorrow you go to the General's Mansion to find me, and I will take you to meet them, and you can choose by yourself." ”

General's Mansion?

Who else has to go to the General's Mansion to pick, Lu Xu wondered.

Could it be that he is a servant of the General's Mansion?

Lu Xu waited with great interest to select talents, and came to the door with gifts early the next morning, but when he saw the person recommended by Zhang Piao, he couldn't laugh.

They are mild or severe, and all of them are disabled.

Zhang Piao: "These used to be my soldiers, and their conduct and character are trustworthy, you can pick them." ”

Lu Xu asked, "Are they all discharged from the army?" ”

Someone in the crowd immediately said, "It's us who want to go!" ”

"Yes, it has nothing to do with generals and joining the army, it's because we don't want to stay in the Xiao Cavalry Army anymore!"

Zhang Biao didn't say anything, but Lu Xu found that Zhang Biao's eyes were red.

Lu Xu understood.

The court is in arrears, and those able-bodied soldiers can't eat enough, so what can the military camp do to support a group of remnants?

Isn't even Zhang Biao back to his white body and no longer in the army?

It's just that he has a special identity, he can still live in the General's Mansion, and he can eat the same pot of rice with the Xiao Cavalry, and they have to fend for themselves.

There are also many such people in Guanyang, and there are them everywhere he passes.

Lu Xu was silent for a while, and then said: "My shop is not too big, and I don't need so many people, so I can only choose among you, and if I can't choose it, I'll say sorry first." ”

They smiled very easily: "Little brother, you choose." ”

It seems that everyone doesn't feel like they can be chosen.

Lu Xu walked to the crowd, chose a circle, and divided the lightest and the heaviest disabled into two sides.

Minor injuries are on the left, and serious injuries are on the right.

There is hardly a person on the right who is able-bodied.

The people who were chosen to the right smiled at each other, and when they met acquaintances, their smiles deepened.

"Looks like you're going to lose the election."

"Aren't you the same?"

"I'm better than you!"

"It's not the same!"

"That's it, it's all the same!"

"It's the same, I was able to fight more than a few of you back then, okay?"

", you're just running fast!"

They joked that the man who had broken a leg and ran fast back then didn't care about it, he patted his broken right leg, "You guys combined, you don't run as much as my broken leg!" ”

Lu Xu separated the last few people and stood in front of the crowd on the right.

"Is there anyone who can read and keep accounts?"

The laughing crowd fell silent.

Lu Xu asked again: "Is there anyone who can read and write?" Hands! ”

Still no one said anything.

Lu Xu: "Is there anyone who can settle accounts?" Hands. ”

Still no one raised their hand.
