The night from the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Zheng was very quiet. Except for the occasional sound from the watchman passing by, there was almost no other sound.
After Suning and Liu Yifei unified their goals, both of them were extremely eager to "create people", because the two people who depended on each other urgently needed children to consolidate their careers in this world.
There was a storm overnight. After Liu Yifei was shy and in labor pain at the beginning, she also began to desperately cater to Suning, and then there was a close "quarrel".
The next day, Suning felt refreshed, but Zhu Chongba appeared in front of Suning with panda eyes. He must have been thinking about Suning's problem last night all night long.
"Mr. Su, I am willing to stay and work for you."
"Oh? This is great!" Suning happily patted Zhu Chongba on the shoulder.
At this time, Wu San came to Su's house with three middle-aged men. As soon as he saw Suning, he explained with a smile, "Mr. Su, these three are the accountants assigned by our master."
"Yeah! Very good!
Your boss must have told you that you will follow me out of the city to hire young people these two days, and you just need to register." These three people are the accountants that Suning borrowed from Chen Boda last night.
"Yes! Mr. Su!"
“There are no other requirements, but you must ask clearly about their place of origin and whether they have any criminal records.
Our Longmen Escort Bureau only hires workers with clean financial backgrounds, and we will never tolerate hidden traitors!"
"yes!"
Next, the group left the city in a mighty manner. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Suning asked Liu Yifei to change into men's clothes and put on a mask on her face.
The refugees outside the city are very chaotic. They are a group of homeless people who can riot at any time. Suning has to take precautions in advance. Although he has a gun in his hand, it is still difficult to fight against the hungry and crazy refugees. Besides, he cannot be ruthless.
.
Seeing this group of refugees again, Suning and Liu Yifei's identities had undergone earth-shaking changes. Looking at the hungry refugees, the two began to face each other seriously.
At this moment, it feels like all the words are particularly pale, which makes Suning and Liu Yifei, two modern people from later generations, always have the understanding that the world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs.
Suning and his party were dressed in gorgeous clothes, which made it easy for the refugees to guess what they were doing. Then they all looked at Suning and the others expectantly.
Zhu Chongba quickly entered the role of an employee. He looked at Suning next to him. Under Suning's nod, he coughed twice nervously, and then started his first performance.
"Ahem! Fellow fellows, please be quiet. This is the owner of Longmen Escort Bureau in Chuzhou City. He is here to hire employees today."
"Ah? Great! Want me!"
"You want me! You want me! I don't want any wages! I just want to give you someone who stutters!"
...
Zhu Chongba's words completely ignited the emotions of the refugees. They all tried their best to promote themselves and just wanted to leave this hell on earth as soon as possible.
No matter what height Zhu Yuanzhang will reach in the future, at this time he is just a fledgling Zhu Chongba. He has never seen such a shocking scene. He was already nervous and was confused by the excited refugees.
Wu San on the side almost laughed out loud when he saw Zhu Chongba's ugly side. At first, he thought Chen Boda was just asking him to help Suning for a few days, but today he heard from Chen Boda's tone that he was ready to give himself to Suning.
, I wonder why he doesn’t care about Suning, his prospective club.
"Mr. Su, do you want me to try?" Wu San looked at the frowning Suning with a smile.
"Well! Good work!"
"Ahem! Shut up, everyone!
If you are not allowed to speak, if anyone makes a little noise, our Longmen Escort Agency will never hire him." Wu San is like a face-changing master in Sichuan Opera, he can switch between flattery and cruelty at will.
The refugees, who were used to seeing this kind of mouth, were very attracted to Wu San's behavior. When they heard Wu San's stern shouting, they no longer dared to make any random noise.
When Liu Yifei saw Wu San's expression, she frowned in displeasure, and was noticed by Suning next to her. Then she whispered to Liu Yifei, "Good and evil can only exist in the space of one thought, but it is not absolutely impossible to blend in."
of.
Sissi, if you see more of this kind of thing in the future, you will naturally get used to it."
"Hmph! I may never get used to it in my life."
Seeing the stubborn Liu Yifei, Suning shook her head helplessly, and then saw Zhu Chongba who was standing aside in despair. She realized that this was a good opportunity to "tame", and then looked at Zhu Chongba with a smile.
"Chongba, you are still young.
There is still a lot to learn, let’s first see how Wu San solves this matter.”
"Yes! Boss!"
"Dear fellow villagers, our Longmen Escort Bureau only recruits young people between the ages of 16 and 25. They will be paid ten cents a month and food and accommodation are included."
"Ah? So good?" The refugees couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Of course, there are also many refugees with disappointed expressions. Most of them are not suitable for their age. You must know that food, food, housing and a monthly salary of ten cents are their life-saving straw.
Next, three accounting offices were busy, and one hundred and ten employees were quickly hired. Originally, only one hundred people were needed according to the plan, but there were too many applicants, so ten more people were recruited, which could be divided into ten classes.
.
It's very risky to hire so many people for the first time. Generally, there won't be such an aggressive boss. But Suning is not planning to make a profit from them. It just wants to train them into professional soldiers, so it doesn't care about the huge investment at the beginning.
.
Suning looked at the one hundred and ten selected employees with expressions of surprise, and then whispered something to Wu San, who looked shocked.
"Mr. Su, are you sure?"
"Yeah! Tell them!"
"Everyone, my boss is kind!
All employees who are hired can receive five kilograms of millet in advance to support their families."
"Wow! My compassionate boss, you are such a kindhearted person!" More than a hundred people and their families knelt down excitedly, while the refugees who were not selected on the side felt even more uncomfortable.
"Ahem! Everyone, be quiet!
The owner also promised that all employees who have undergone training and perform well will be allowed to bring their families to work in the Longmen Escort Agency."
"Ah? Thank you, boss!"
“Thank you, boss!”
...
Suning first brought these more than 100 people to the yard of Dongcheng Wharf, and then the door of Longmen Escort Bureau was ready. Zhu Chongba and others happened to lead people to hang the plaque, which meant that Longmen Escort Agency was opened.
More than a hundred people have more than a hundred mouths. Fortunately, Chen Boda also thoughtfully sent three female cooks to Suning, and then Suning asked them to start cooking directly.
After more than a hundred people had eaten, Suning began his first speech, "Welcome to the Longmen Escort Agency!
I am your boss Suning."
"Hello, boss!" More than a hundred people shouted excitedly.
"You are divided into ten classes, each class has eleven people, and then you choose an acting class leader.
The acting squad leader will not be officially appointed as the squad leader until the training is completed."
"Monitor?"
"Yes! In fact, they are similar to the commanders of the army. It's just that ours is a bodyguard bureau, so they are collectively called squad leaders."
Zhu Chongba below couldn't help but show surprise when he heard Suning's arrangement. Although he couldn't tell what was wrong, he always felt that his boss had a big plan.
"I will train with you in the next few days!
I hope you will meet the standards in a month, and then you can bring your relatives to work in the escort agency."
"Yes! Boss!" Hearing Suning's promise, the employees below became excited.
...
Suning valued this first batch of more than 100 people very much, as they were completely the seeds of his career, so Suning decided to train them personally, and the method used was the kind of military training that would be used in later generations.
Because he knew that Zhu Chongba's ambition was not small, he did not incorporate him into the team, but only made him responsible for the chores of the escort agency. Suning was somewhat wary of him. It might take a long time to truly trust him.
For a period of time, it is possible that Zhu Chongba had already moved away by that time.
During the month of eating and training together, Suning got closer and closer to more than a hundred people. The physical fitness of the ancients was excellent, and they easily reached Suning's various standards.
A month later, more than a hundred people were allowed to take their family members to work in the Longmen Escort Bureau. Most of these people were old, weak, women and children. Suning was not going to keep them idle, but arranged for them to make ready-made clothes and shoes and then put them in
They are sold in stores and even taken to other cities by escort agencies to sell them.
There was still a lot of movement among more than a hundred people. Fortunately, Suning got to know Chen Boda in advance. Chen Boda then led Suning to explain to many dignitaries in Chuzhou City. Under Suning's golden offensive, he could be considered to have initially established a good relationship with them.
Regarding Suning's big move, these leaders in Chuzhou City also turned a blind eye. As for whether Suning would rebel, they would never consider it, just because everyone still knows the Yuan Empire now.
There are still five years left before the Red Turban Uprising of Liu Futong and Han Shantong.
Chen Boda really took care of Suning. He not only introduced Suning to integrate into Chuzhou's upper class society, but also introduced many businesses to Suning. Although they were all small escort businesses, they still moved Suning and his wife.
After the training of more than 100 people, one or two classes will be arranged for each escort operation according to the size of the task. The considerate and thoughtful service allows the Longmen Escort Bureau to be accepted by Chuzhou merchants as quickly as possible.
Because they had initially established a foundation of trust with the high-ranking officials in Chuzhou, the Longmen Escort Bureau also began to try to operate the food and alcohol business, and it could be considered that it had established a firm foothold in Chuzhou City.
After establishing a foothold, Suning and Liu Yifei faced many problems. They soon felt that they were unable to do their best, and then they were ready to start training their employees. After all, they were still loyal to the talents they had trained.
After every day's training, Suning would hold a one-hour literacy class and hire some unsuccessful scholars to teach more than a hundred people.
Of course, it is impossible to let scholars teach their employees to learn anything. The employees do not have this talent. They just start with "Hundred Family Surnames" and "Three Character Classic", and then assist with some mathematical knowledge of this era, and then consider it later.
Teach them to study books like The Analects of Confucius.
"Brother Su, your recent actions have been a bit big!
I heard that you have started hiring teachers to teach your employees how to read."
"Haha, there's no way!
We really don’t have enough manpower, so we have to go through the trouble of cultivating them ourselves.”
"Well! It is necessary to train employees.
But there is no need to teach them how to read, I feel it is a waste of time."
"Haha, let's not talk about this for now.
Last time I heard Brother Chen mention that Li Shanchang from Dingyuan is going to pass through Chuzhou?" It was impossible for him to tell Chen Boda his plan now, so he deliberately changed the subject.
"Yes! Li Shanchang is going to Jiqing in a few days, and will happen to pass by our Chuzhou City.
I can introduce you to each other then."
"Haha, this is great!
On the way from Jiaozhou to Chuzhou, I always heard that Li Shanchang was a great sage, so I have been admiring him for a long time."
In fact, Suning really wants to recruit Li Shanchang now. Anyway, the Yuan Dynasty does not pay attention to literati and has not set up imperial examinations for many years. Regarding Suning's recruitment, I believe Li Shanchang will definitely consider it carefully.
But what Suning is worried about is that now that he has not raised the anti-Yuan banner, many secret things cannot escape the eyes of people like Li Shanchang. If Li Shanchang goes to report him, then he will be ready to cry.
Therefore, Suning will not take risks easily.
...
In the eighth year of Zhengzheng, Liu Yifei gave birth to Suning's first son, which surprised Suning and Liu Yifei. After nearly two years of hard work, they finally had a close relative in the world.
"Suning, you haven't named our son yet!"
"Ah? Look at my brain, I forget it when I get busy!"
"Haha, it's not too late to get up now!"
"Well! Sissi, why don't we name our son Su Ming? All future children will be named with a day character next to it."
"Ah? Su Ming? That's a great name!"
After two years of development, Longmen Escort Bureau has spread its footprints to various cities around Jiqing. There are branches of Longmen Escort Bureau in cities such as Dingyuan, Haozhou, Hexian, Yangzhou, and Hangzhou.
Due to the rapid expansion of the Longmen Escort Bureau, Suning now has a team of nearly 2,000 people. According to the organization of later generations of armies, three squads form a platoon, and three to four platoons form a company, and the number of people in a company is about one.
About one hundred and twenty people were stationed in companies in each branch of the Longmen Escort Bureau.
In order to facilitate management, Suning also set up four battalions, one of which was Shuiying, which was specifically responsible for the ships of the Longmen Escort Bureau. Shuiying now has two large ships worth 3,000 yuan and six small boats worth 1,000 yuan.
In the past two years, Suning recruited Chang Yuchun, who was a bandit, and Yu Tingyu and his son. At this time, Yu Tingyu and his son had not yet followed Han Shantong in rebellion, so they took advantage of the chicken thief Suning.
Yu Tingyu was appointed as the commander of the water battalion, directly responsible for the water transportation from Chuzhou City to Jiqing Road, while his son Yu Tonghai became the company commander of the first battalion. Suning personally led the first battalion and was responsible for the Longmen Escort Bureau near Chuzhou and Jiqing.
After the initial training, Chang Yuchun gradually adapted to the behavior of the Longmen Escort Bureau, and lost the rude atmosphere before. Then he was appointed as the commander of the third battalion of the Longmen Escort Bureau, and was usually in charge of the area from Haozhou to Dingyuan.
business.
Zhu Chongba was the one that Suning struggled with the most. Although Suning had been guarding against him and never asked him to return to Haozhou to recruit troops because he was worried that he would be difficult to control due to his full wingspan, he grew up too fast and was too capable. In the end, Suning accepted his fate.
He is the battalion commander of the second battalion of the Longmen Escort Bureau and is responsible for the business in Yangzhou.
Suning's Longmen Escort Bureau is developing rapidly. Fortunately, the company's employees and institutional names are very different from Yuan Mo's perception, which makes others always feel confused, so it did not attract official attention.
The most important thing is that Suning has the idea of equal rain and dew, and usually tries to maintain the relationship with the dignitaries in Chuzhou City and Jiqing Road, so that these people gradually get lost under their own "sugar-coated bullets".
Such a large number of escort employees certainly require huge weapons and leather armor. Because Suning's "golden bullet" offensive was fierce, it was easy to obtain a large number of "scrap weapons" from Chuzhou's treasury.
Even Chen Boda was shocked when he saw the development of Suning Longmen Escort Agency. Chen Boda was also a knowledgeable person and could easily detect Suning's ambitions.
However, the current situation was still firmly in the hands of the court. For the sake of his family, Chen Boda did not confess to Suning immediately. Instead, he pretended to be confused and watched the changes in the current situation, quietly watching the development of the situation.
Under Chen Boda's introduction, Suning and Li Shanchang got acquainted, but the relationship was just as friends, and Suning did not invite Li Shanchang to join the Longmen Escort Agency.
This made Chen Boda a little surprised, because in his impression, Suning should be the kind of person who is eager for talents, and he should have invited Li Shanchang immediately.
As for Suning not inviting Li Shanchang now, it may only be because Suning does not trust him. This also confirmed Chen Boda's initial judgment that Suning's ambition is definitely not small.
...
After a busy day, Suning had just taken a shower when she saw Liu Yifei feeding her son and buying water. She couldn't help laughing, "Sissi, our son has such a good appetite!"
"Haha, of course my son has an appetite!"
"My boss, there is a Shandong man who calls himself Mao Gui and wants to see him." Wu San, who was now the housekeeper of the Su Mansion, stood outside the door and reported to Suning.
"Oh? Mao Gui? Come to the living room quickly!"
"Yes! Boss!"
"Suning, is this Maogui very powerful?" After the housekeeper Wu San left, Liu Yifei looked at Suning curiously.
"Well! From the original time and space, Liu Futong will be the general in the future, but I don't know how he came to us."
"Ah? Do you think it is possible that Liu Futong has started to rebel now, and then sent this Maogui to test us?"
"Well! It's hard to say this.
Let me go to the living room to check the situation first!"
When Suning came to the living room, she saw a burly man sitting there neatly. Seeing Suning's appearance, he immediately stood up excitedly.
"Hello, Mr. Su! I'm Maogui!"
"Oh? Maogui?
I heard that you are also from Shandong?"
"Yes! Mr. Su and I are fellow villagers." Mao Gui showed a dark smile at this time.
"Haha, I heard that there is a good man from Yingzhou named Liu Futong. I wonder if Brother Mao knows him?"
"Liu Futong? I don't know him!
I have never been to Yingzhou." Mao Gui was confused about Suning's question.
"Oh! I wonder why Brother Mao came to visit this time?" Suning couldn't help being pleasantly surprised after hearing Mao Gui's answer.
"Mr. Su, we in Shandong have been experiencing constant disasters in the past two years, and many people really cannot survive.
Some time ago we heard that there is a hero from Shandong in Chuzhou City, and hereby he and his brothers and their families come to join you.
I hope Mr. Su can take in our brothers."
"Haha, Brother Mao Gui seems to be a man of good temper. I am happy to accept a hero like Brother Mao Gui."
"Thank you Mr. Su!"
"Brother Mao Gui, don't be happy yet. Our Longmen Escort Agency is different from other places. We are very particular about rules. Therefore, I have to ask you brothers to undergo training first."
"Mr. Su, don't worry! We brothers all know the truth!"
"Haha, that's good! I'll ask Butler Wu to take you to dinner later, and then I'll settle down with the family."
“Thank you, boss!”
Watching Mao Gui leave, Suning felt excited. He was a real general. If he could accept the rules of the Longmen Escort Bureau, he would definitely be Suning's right-hand man. Then he wouldn't need to worry too much about Zhu Chongba.
"Eating the Lord".
There were really many famous generals at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Suning was drooling just thinking about it. It would be a pity if a super general like Xu Da did not subdue him, so when his power grew, Suning would arrange for Zhu Chongba
