Chapter 7 Arrangement
As soon as Cheng De walked out of the gate, he saw a scene that made him extremely uncomfortable.

Before he could say anything, He Sanwu took the lead and said, "Brother, these people were selected according to your requirements."

With complicated emotions, Cheng De looked at these people whose hands and feet were tied with ropes, with fear in their eyes and messy hair, it would not be an exaggeration to call them beggars.

At this moment, Zhou Hao led a middle-aged man with a pot belly over.

Cheng De set his eyes on this strange middle-aged man, observed his clothes and appearance, and recognized him at a glance as an authentic Yuanren.

"Master Jun, this is the master of these slaves, Gerimu Tu, who owns the most slaves in Sizhou City!"

"Dear guests, this batch of slaves is the best batch I have, and the price is not cheap. There are 250 slaves in total, 20 strong slaves, and each strong slave sells for ten taels. Twenty high-quality slaves, they Everyone is not only literate, but also skilled, each 30 taels, as for the remaining 800 people, [-] men and [-] women, they were all criminals, and they used to live in wealthy families. Everyone has received private school education, and each sells for [-] taels. The total is [-] taels.”

Cheng De looked at He Sanwu.

He Sanwu said: "Brother, I have carefully observed these people, and I believe they meet the requirements of Big Brother."

Cheng De signaled Li Sanqi to hand over the silver in the bag to Gerimutu, and at the same time, Cheng De said: "Can you replace the remaining silver with jade?"

Gerimutu narrowed his eyes for a while, and said, "Let me see the quality of the jade first."

Cheng De took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Gerimutu. Gerimutu rubbed and observed it repeatedly. After a long while, he said: "This jade pendant looks like it was from the Northern Song Dynasty. Whether it is jade quality or fine carving, They are all extremely extraordinary, this jade pendant can be mortgaged for 800 taels."

As soon as Gerimutu finished speaking, Cheng De took out the other three jade pendants. When Gerimutu saw it, his eyes stared straight.

Before Cheng De could say anything, Gerimutu immediately said: "If you add the three jade pendants in your hand, it will be enough."

Cheng De didn't speak, which made Gerimutu a little anxious, because he saw that two of the three jade pendants in Cheng De's hands were very valuable, and each piece could sell for at least 5000 taels.

"I can give you another 1000 taels."

Hearing Gerimutu's words, Cheng De agreed.

Gerimutu glanced at the two attendants behind him.

Not long after, Cheng De saw Gerimutu's two attendants walking over with a small box each.

He Sanwu and Yang Wei each took a small box, and after counting the number, they were all correct.

At the same time, Gerimutu took out a small box from his arms, stared at Cheng De and said, "These are the contracts of prostitution of these slaves, you can order some."

Cheng De handed the three jade pendants to Gerimutu, and almost instantly, the three jade pendants reached Gerimutu's hands.

Gerimutu was very happy in his heart, and thought: This Han buyer is really stupid, he doesn't understand the value of the jade pendant at all, he didn't expect that this transaction can make me earn 1 taels, it's really worth it!
After Cheng De quickly counted the number of contracts of sale, he immediately relaxed a lot.

When he saw the smile on Gerimutu's face, Cheng De also smiled, thinking: let you be happy for a while, and after a while I have mastered Sizhou City, all your wealth will be mine!

Afterwards, Cheng De focused on Zhou Hao, and immediately said, "Li Sanqi, take out 100 taels and give it to Zhou Hao, it's his hard work!"

Li Sanqi didn't move at all, Cheng De seemed to remember something, Li Sanqi didn't seem to understand how to count it!
"Forget it, let me come!"

Cheng De counted 100 taels from the bag and handed it to Zhou Hao, and said, "Take it, as I said before, you deserve it. However, you should know what to say and what not to say Bar!"

Zhou Hao took the silver tael from Cheng De, smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"If you still know which slaves are good, you can introduce them to me, and I will buy them. Of course, your hard work is indispensable!"

"Master Jun speaks openly, okay, the younger ones will definitely pay more attention to it, if there is one, be the first to find Master Jun!"

Cheng De nodded.

At the same time, Gerimutu offered to leave, and Zhou Hao didn't stay long, and left in a hurry.

Looking at their leaving back, Cheng De squinted his eyes, thoughtful!
"Li Sanqi, bring these people inside, and untie the ropes on them!"

"He Sanwu, take the small box of silver in your hand to buy a batch of grain, you can hire someone to deliver it, and try to spend all the silver in your hand."

"Yes, brother, I'll do it now!" Li Sanqi and He Sanwu said in unison.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Li Sanqi should have almost finished the matter, you follow me in and choose someone who can train soldiers!"

"Subordinates obey!"

Seeing that Li Sanqi had just completed the work, Cheng De walked to the front, looked at the slaves staring at him, and said, "From now on, I am your master! Your life and death are in my hands." In your hand! Look, this is your bond! If you can make meritorious service in the future, I can return the bond to you, and I will no longer be a slave. However, if anyone dares to eat inside and outside, then I will never spare him of!"

Cheng De pointed to the twenty servants and said, "Go to the inner courtyard to clean up the rooms now, and clean all the rooms! As for how you arrange it, I will arrange it for you after the cleaning is completed!"

These slaves saluted Cheng De one after another, and then headed towards the inner courtyard.

Afterwards, Cheng De pointed to the section with thirty people. After these were criminal officials, Cheng De wanted to interrogate them one by one.

"You all come here and stand behind me, I have something to ask you later!"

These accused people stood behind Cheng De one after another as they said.

Cheng De looked at the remaining 250 strong slaves, and said: "From now on, you will all be organized into the guard team and divided into two teams, each with 125 people. The safety of such a large yard will be entrusted to you to guard. You guys You can eat three meals a day, but you have to complete the daily training every day."

"This is Yang Wei, your future head coach. Yang Wei, you can be the commander of the first team, just be the head of a hundred households, and Li Sanqi, you can be the head of a hundred households in the other team. From now on, you will all stay here and train hard. them."

"Brother, what is the duty of the city gate?"

"It's fine over there. It's okay to be without you alone. If the superior asks, I will find a reason to prevaricate. I will come here when I have time on weekdays, and I will teach you and Yang Wei how to train the army!"

"By the way, you have to get familiar with every part of the yard, and I will let you do other things later. Remember, don't be lazy in training, you will be a general in the future!"

"Okay, that's all for now, Yang Wei, you divide these people into two teams first, and Li Sanqi will hold the money."

"Subordinates obey!"

Regardless of Yang Wei's affairs, Cheng De looked at the thirty people, and said calmly: "Follow me over there, I have something to ask you! Li Sanqi, remember to follow!"

soon.

Cheng De came to a pavilion, sat on the stone pier of the pavilion, and glanced at these people.

"Among you who can read, stand to the right!"

As soon as the words fell, the group of people moved quickly.Cheng De couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw that the group of people were standing on the right.

"Who among you has read the Four Books and Five Classics or Sun Tzu's Art of War, stand to the left!"

After a while.

There were only eleven men standing on the left, so Cheng De set his sights on these eleven men and said, "I'm surprised that there are eleven men! Starting with you, tell me what you read What book is it?"

"Master, I am reading "The Analects of Confucius."

"Master, I am reading "Mencius."

"Master, I am reading "Spring and Autumn""

……

"Master, I am reading "The Art of War by Sun Tzu."

When he heard the last person's words, Cheng De pointed to him and said, "You stand in front of me!"

After sizing him up, he found that except for his dirty face, his ears and hands were fair.

"What's your name?"

"Master, my name is Luo Gongfu."

"Aside from "The Art of War", what other books have you read?"

"Also read "Han Feizi" and "Historical Records."

"How much can you remember?"

"Reporting to Master, I remember all these books!"

"Okay, let me recite the part of Xiang Zhuang's sword dance in the "Historical Records" that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Pei Gong!"

"The strategy is to determine the land of Qin. There are soldiers guarding the Hangu Pass, and they are not allowed to enter. I also heard that Pei Gong has broken Xianyang, Xiang Yu was furious, and ordered Dangyang Lord and others to attack the pass..."

"Very good, you are not bad. From today onwards, you will be my book boy and take care of your three meals a day. From tomorrow onwards, you will write all the contents of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Historical Records", "Han Feizi", etc. If it is completed, I can make you no longer a slave, but a steward of the courtyard. As a steward, you can also receive ten taels of silver every month, and you will have meat to eat."

"Master, are you serious?"

"I have always kept my word, and I will do what I say!"

"Mr. Luo thanked Master!"

Seeing Luo Gongfu's happy appearance, Cheng De said: "You stand by my side."

"Yes, Master."

Cheng De looked at the other ten people again, and said, "Can you write down all the books you have read?"

"Back to Master, I can!"

Cheng De, who had no hope at all, was suddenly overjoyed. He looked at the speaker and found that he was much younger than Luo Gongfu.

"You're not bad, you'll be my book boy from now on. Take care of three meals a day."

"Little Wang Shilin thanked the master!"

"You also stand by my side."

Looking at the remaining 28 people, Cheng De said, "Aside from studying, what skills do you have?"

"Return to master, the young one knows how to shoot archery."

Cheng De looked into the crowd on the right and found a man with sharp eyes, about 15 years old.

"Li Sanqi, this person will be included in your subordinates. Ask him to teach the people over there how to do archery. If you need anything, you can ask He Sanwu and let him solve it."

"Brother, I understand, that kid, come to my side!"

Looking at Li Sanqi and the boy with archery skills, Cheng De looked at the rest of the people, thought for a while and then said: "The rest of the women will be arranged in the inner courtyard to be account managers. Which of you women is the age?" maximum?"

"Back to the master, it's a slave."

Seeing the woman who stood up, with a good figure and dignified manner, Cheng De was very satisfied, so he said: "The other women here will follow your arrangement from now on, and do a good job in managing the accounts, especially the accounts should be careful, including the daily You must keep a clear account of your expenses. Your position is tentatively designated as the general accountant. In addition, the servants who have just been cleaned up will also be arranged by you."

"Thank you, Master, Luo Yan will never fail Master's entrustment!"

"Your name is Luo Yan?"

"Return to the master, yes!"

"Very well, from today onwards, you will be my concubine. As for the ceremony, just skip it. Do you have any questions?" Cheng De glanced at Luo Yan, thinking that what she was responsible for was very important, so he directly sent her Bundled with himself, otherwise he would not trust her.Of course, he did take a fancy to her.

"Ah! This—servant is willing!" Luo Yan's face was flushed.

"As for the rest of the people, I will organize you into a team, and I will be responsible for helping me with some daily chores in the future. For now, I will let you teach Li Sanqi and the people outside to read. Take care of three meals a day, do a good job Yes, there is another reward! This matter, Luo Gongfu, you are responsible for watching."

"Yes!" Everyone responded.

"Go down and rest first! By the way, Luo Yan, you just have to work hard and be responsible for arranging where everyone lives!"

"The slaves obey!"

"Okay, you all go back first! Li Sanqi and Luo Gongfu stay!"

After everyone left, Cheng De looked at the sun and said, "When He Sanwu comes back, I'm leaving. Li Sanqi, you must train well when I'm not around. To practice martial arts well, you also need to learn how to read and write, and you also need to learn archery, so don’t let me live up to your expectations! We don’t have much time left!”

"Sweat more on weekdays, and bleed less in wartime! I hope you remember what the elder brother said! Also, keep an eye on Yang Wei. If he is sincerely seeking refuge, let it go. If he has another purpose, you must tell him earlier." Me, I'll handle it when the time comes!"

"Yes, brother, I remember! Also, I, Li Sanqi, will definitely become a general in the future!"

After patting Li Sanqi on the shoulder, Cheng De said, "It's almost a busy day today, you should go and rest too!"

"yes, Sir!"

Cheng De looked at Luo Gongfu, but didn't see He Sanwu coming back, so he said, "Luo Gongfu, please read "Sun Tzu's Art of War" aloud! Your test!"

"Yes, master!" Luo Gongfu looked at Cheng De in awe. In Luo Gongfu's opinion, this master is a powerful person, and he must have read many books.

If Cheng De knew that he thought this way, he would definitely be dumbfounded, because he just didn't know how to say this on purpose, and then prepared to write down the main points in "Sun Tzu's Art of War" secretly.

In other words, although Cheng De can't, he won't admit that he can't.
