Yang Chengwu and the other six were overjoyed. They stood up immediately, cupped their hands and shouted in unison:
"Thank you, brother!"
Huang An personally handed over Guiyuan Tang to them. The eyes of these men were red, and the hands holding the jar were trembling.
Even Yang Chengwu, who shed tears in the afternoon, is still wet-eyed now.
"Just drink it here! There is a lot of open space outside the hospital. After drinking, go directly to practice martial arts!"
The six people did not hesitate, opened the seal, raised their necks, and poured it into their stomachs.
The other fourteen subordinates looked at him with eager eyes.
Just now I was thinking whether I could ask these six good brothers to share a sip in private and get the benefit of the precious medicine.
Unexpectedly, I drank it on the spot without even giving them a chance to speak.
Looking at the eager crowd, Huang An narrowed his eyes and suddenly said:
"You are all my brothers. Remember, follow me from now on. There will be blood from the alien beasts, and there will also be the Guiyuantang!"
Everyone nodded heavily, each of them working hard and thinking about how to serve their eldest brother.
Huang An waved his hand and ordered:
"Put up the cauldron and boil the precious blood soup!"
Everyone shouted loudly and quickly prepared firewood, well water, and carried medicinal materials.
Today I bought eight cans of Guiyuan soup, two of which I drank for myself and six for Yang Chengwu and others.
It costs 160 taels of silver.
Ten pounds of alien beast blood cost 50 taels of silver, but it was only 210 taels of silver.
But its effect of winning people's hearts is difficult to achieve even with five thousand taels of silver.
His promise gave his warriors and ordinary soldiers hope for their future in Xialin Village.
I have a deeper level of trust and acceptance of Huang An's leadership.
They now have the prototype of a team, and Huang An is the absolute core of their team.
The entire team was united because of these 210 taels of silver.
Wherever Huang An's order goes, there must be brothers rushing forward one after another!
While he was cooking the precious blood soup, Huang An also made corresponding arrangements for his first escort mission three days later.
In fact, there is nothing to arrange. Just follow the procedures of the other three good brothers and there will basically be no problem.
However, among their group, there are no bronze-skin warriors, which may cause concerns to pedestrians and caravans.
As a result, the number of "customers" is greatly reduced, and not much money can be earned.
However, Huang An has a lot of money, and he doesn't rely on it to make a living, so he doesn't care what those pedestrians think.
Everyone gathered in a large circle to discuss various matters in the village.
"I will personally take the people on the first escort mission!"
Everyone nodded and listened carefully to Huang An's arrangements.
"The two stewards will continue to carry out major renovations in our area according to the original plan! Pay attention to safety issues and don't cause any deaths!"
The two stewards, Yang Hao and Yan Long, nodded in agreement.
After these few days of training, the two of them are already very familiar with their respective tasks and are confident that they can guard their home well.
However, they seemed to have thought of something, and they hesitated to speak.
Huang An saw it and smiled directly:
"If you have something to say, just talk about it, just like a girl!"
The two looked at each other, Yang Hao's face became solemn, and he said directly:
"Brother, our wood, stone, grain, fresh meat, etc. are often stolen. Some old men and women even take it directly in front of us!"
When Huang An heard this, he became furious!
"Is that taking? That's stealing, that's robbing!"
You don’t need to think about it, you know where these people come from, they must be the subordinates of three good brothers!
"What do you do for food? A bunch of guys, maybe they are soft-legged shrimps. They watch those old guys bullying you? Why do you come to me to file a complaint?"
Huang An scolded them all.
He was so angry that he said bitterly:
"I've been running around a lot these days, but I've neglected this!"
Huang An rolled his eyes and remembered it, and directly ordered Yang Hao and Yang Hao.
"When you go back tonight, write a notice and strictly prohibit anyone from stealing our things. If you catch them, you will beat them to death!"
Before he finished speaking, Huang An overturned his decision.
He added bitterly:
"If you catch me the first time, I'll give you a beating! If I catch you the second time, I'll beat you to death! Did you hear me?"
The two nodded heavily, but Yang Hao hesitated and said:
"What about those old men and women?"
Huang An was stunned when he heard this.
He touched his nose, his heart skipped a beat, and he said directly:
"A bunch of bastards who rely on their old age to sell off their old age! They are the same! If caught the second time, they will be beaten to death!"
As if remembering something, Huang An's eyes flashed with hatred, and he gritted his teeth and added:
"If someone dares to gossip, let him do it! If he dares to scold me, that's fine! Grab those old men and old women and ask them to return our supplies! If he refuses to return it, have his teeth knocked out and his legs broken!
"
hiss!
When everyone heard this, they gasped.
So cruel, even old men and old women are not spared.
But whatever the eldest brother says, they just have to do what he asks. Who cares if he scolds them!
Naturally, they don't know that Huang An deeply hates this kind of behavior of relying on one's elders, selling one's elders, and stealing openly.
Because when he was a child, these people and things like this left a deep impression on him.
Huang An's sense of this kind of people is very poor.
Growing up in his family's waste treatment plant, he was bullied miserably by such an old man when he was a child.
The family of three was often offended by this.
Even the reason why my parents often quarreled in the beginning was 90% because of these people.
In their hometown, the Virgin Mary of Law and Morality protected them, but not in Ming Dynasty.
Stealing is stealing, robbing is robbing, Huang An will not bypass them because of their age.
At such an age, he is still so bad, so shameless and shameless.
Then they must have been no better when they were young.
Huang Anshan was so kind that he simply asked his brothers to give them a ride in advance.
Let them have the opportunity to be reincarnated into a wealthy family and enjoy happiness in their next life.
After giving the order, Huang An rubbed his hands and felt that this was not the way to go.
After all, the people involved here are not his people, but the people of the other three "good brothers" in Xialin Village.
He needs to vaccinate his three good brothers.
He directly addressed Yang Chengwu:
"Remember what I just said about how to cook precious blood soup, and stir it all the time!"
Yang Chengwu nodded heavily, indicating that he would write it down.
But, from the tone of my eldest brother’s tone, it seems like he wants to go out!
It's so late, where will he go?
Before Yang Chengwu could think about it carefully, he saw Huang An standing up. He directly directed at the two stewards Yang Hao and Yan Long and ordered:
"Follow me, let's go meet the three brothers and discuss it in detail!"
The two were surprised and confused, not knowing what the elder brother Huang An was up to, but they still followed him obediently.
Before leaving, Huang An once again told Yang Chengwu to order the precious blood soup and stir it every two minutes to prevent it from getting stuck on the bottom of the pot.
Then the three of them left the courtyard and went straight to Brother Yu's house.
After Huang An got over his anger, he actually knew that such a strict order could not be circumvented by his three brothers.
No matter how severe the punishment mechanism is, it can't put an end to theft and rape.
Unless these people are physically eliminated from the root.
Because for those who are hungry and may starve to death, being beaten is nothing.
As for morality?
It is the product of food and clothing.
In the entire Xialin Village, among the people who are qualified to be moral, except for Huang An and the others, not even the three leaders can do anything about it.
One side is starved to death, the other side is beaten. There is no need to consider which path to choose.
But there is another way that can greatly alleviate this theft problem.
Huang An's mind was always spinning very fast. As he walked on the road, he quickly thought of a solution.
The three of them walked on the road under the moonlight.
Sudden.
"Has anyone in the village come to ask if they can come and work for us these days?"
Huang An's question surprised the two of them, and they quickly said:
"Brother Yingming, there really are some! And there are a lot of them."
"Those people are all from the village, and they don't want wages. They just want to take care of the food. However, they are not our own people, so neither of us dared to agree!"
A few words from the two stewards relieved some of Huang An's doubts.
Huang An nodded, as expected.
He said directly:
"Next month we will move a group of people to escort pedestrians and caravans. After the number of people is reduced, how many people need to be supplemented so that our construction speed will not be affected?"
The two of them summed it up, and Yang Hao said directly:
"Although we have a large number of people, we are also taking care of the work in Dapo, opening fields, building pig pens, etc. The stalls are widely spread. In fact, there is a shortage of people everywhere."
Huang An nodded and motioned for Yang Hao to continue.
"After the 70-person escort team is mobilized, at least 300 people will be needed to barely guarantee the current progress!"
Yang Hao further explained:
"We haven't started all operations yet, and we will need more and more people in the future!"
After finishing speaking, there was a faint look of worry on his face.
He felt that the amount of the project was too large, and he was afraid that his elder brother would lose his money and not have enough money.
Huang An didn't seem to notice. He nodded, pondered for a while, and continued to ask:
“If there are enough people to do the work, how many more people are needed?”
Yang Hao and Yan Long looked at each other and had a guess as to why Huang An wanted them to go to Master Yu Er's house.
"One thousand five hundred people, a full one thousand five hundred people are needed! If there is enough labor, we can complete the original plan in just one month!"
So many?
Huang An paused, with a look of hesitation on his face. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Let's go back and discuss it! Tomorrow morning I will go find the three brothers to ask for someone, and by the way, I will completely solve the theft problem!"
The two of them thought to themselves that indeed, their guess was good.
The eldest brother must have been thinking about talking to the three bosses in advance about the theft problem, and by the way, hiring a group of people to help on the construction site.
But there are too many people needed now, and it's getting late, so we can only talk about it tomorrow.
The two followed closely behind, and the three returned the same way.
The two of them guessed well, Huang An indeed had such thoughts.
There are actually two ways to fundamentally solve the theft problem.
The first is physical destruction, whoever steals will be destroyed.
This is the simplest and crudest method.
There is only one advantage, and that is to intimidate Xiaoxiao, but there are too many disadvantages, and it will damage the relationship between you and your three brothers, which is not advisable.
The second method is to teach people how to fish rather than teach them how to fish.
Theft and robbery are ultimately caused by hunger and lack of food.
Hiring these people to help, coupled with strict supervision and punishment, will definitely put an end to theft.
Give them food and the opportunity to earn money through hard work. If their hands and feet are unclean, don't blame them for killing.
The laws of the Ming Dynasty have extremely loose provisions on stealing and robbery. If you are caught on the spot, you will be beaten to death!
