A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 202 Greed for His Money
Unexpectedly, as soon as the news came out, there were more than 30 bodyguard masters who signed up, accounting for half of the total number of bodyguard masters in Fuwei Escort Bureau.

Father Lin Zhennan didn't expect there to be so many people at the time, after all, if he followed Wang Lidong to the county government as a catcher, his monthly salary would be reduced by two-thirds.

At that time, Lin Zhennan said with emotion:
"Ping'er, in our bones, people from all over the world want to be officials and eat the emperor's food."

Wang Lidong came up with an idea, as long as they are old and behave well.

At a certain age, the bodyguard master will quit the bodyguard bureau and find another way of life.

After all, dart walking is a physical job, and it is impossible to do it when you are old.

Father Lin Zhennan immediately understood what Wang Lidong meant, and thought the idea was very good.

He believed that in the future, the escorts of his own escort agency would be more serious and responsible in their work.

Wang Lidong asked:
"How many people are missing?"

Cai Butou discussed with the other two, and then reported:
"About 100 people are missing."

"so many people?"

Catcher Cai hastily explained:
"Young Escort, there are at least 60 people in the third class of yamen servants alone.

There are also 2 doormen, 10 grooms, 7 bearers and umbrella fans, 4 lamp bearers, 4 warehouse guards, 4 storehouse guards, 12 forbidden sons (jail guards), and 2 foremen. "

After listening to the details reported by Cai Butou, Wang Lidong felt that 100 people was really not many, especially the third class of yamen servants, only 60, he still felt that it was a bit small.

The three classes of yamen include:

Zongban Zaoli, similar to today's bailiffs, is responsible for following the chief guard to clear the way, standing on both sides of the hall during the trial, maintaining discipline, escorting criminals, and executing torture and cane punishment.In the TV series we watch, when the trial begins, these are the people who shout 'mighty'.

The catcher, referred to as catcher, is somewhat similar to today's criminal police, responsible for summoning defendants, witnesses, arresting criminals, and searching for evidence. Xu Xian's brother-in-law in "Legend of the New White Snake" is the leader of the Kuaishou catcher.

The strong class, Minzhuang, was responsible for guarding vital parts such as city gates, yamen, warehouses, and prisons, and patrolling urban and rural roads, similar to today's armed police.This is often referred to as "capital head" in "Water Margin", such as the beautiful bearded man Zhu Dian, the winged tiger Lei Heng, and the walker Wu Song.

A county manages at least 10,000+ people, and the three classes of yamen servants add up to only [-]. This ratio is too disparate.

But this matter should not be rushed, step by step, if too many people are recruited at once, the management will not be able to keep up.

Wang Lidong turned to Zhao Ligong and said:

"Put a recruitment notice on the bulletin board of the county government office, and recruit people according to the requirements of Catcher Cai.

But it must be marked that the family background must be from a good family, and those people from the previous yamen are all rejected, and all new ones are recruited.

In addition, I went to Santai Village to recruit [-] women to take charge of the kitchen and chores. "

"Where are the five old yamen servants?"

"As long as you come to report today, and the character doesn't look too bad, keep it first."

After finishing speaking, Wang Lidong took out several banknotes and gave them to Zhao Ligong.

"The 1000 taels I lent to the yamen temporarily, and will be returned to me after the tax is collected."

Zhao Ligong was about to ask Wang Lidong for some money, when they inspected the entire government office just now, they had already seen the money and grain depot, and the clean rats would go back crying when they came in.

Wang Lidong also saw it at that time, as did the rest of the warehouses.

As long as it was something valuable, there was basically nothing left for him.

At this time, he had already regarded Linhai County as his territory.

How dare he covet his money.

MMP, I will wait for the young master.

(σ;*Д*)σ death penalty!

"Young Escort, the matchmaker is here."

Lin Jian walked under a big banyan tree in the small garden. At this time, Wang Lidong was lying on a deck chair, dozing off.

Hearing that the matchmaker was coming, Wang Lidong immediately opened his eyes, only to see a chubby old woman following Lin Jian.

The fat toothmaid was dressed in red, willow and green clothes, and she seemed to have some money.

The pile of flesh on her body further showed that she was living a good life, but her face was a little pale, and her mouth was a little red.

The man walked up to Wang Lidong, saluted and said:
"I've met Mr. Lin, I'm a matchmaker in this county, so Mr. Lin can just call me Mrs. Qian.

I heard that Master Lin wanted to buy a few maids and servants, so I brought all the ones that caught my eye, or I will let these people in now, and ask Master Lin to choose. "

Wang Lidong nodded.

After a while, the garden was full of people.

These people are all about ten years old.

Seeing that so many people came, Wang Lidong said to Lin Jian:
"I seem to only ask you to recruit a few maids and servants?"

Lin Jian hurriedly explained:

"That's what Qian Yapo and I said, but she said to bring more, so that you have more room to choose."

Wang Lidong understood that this was to flatter him, and if he was happy, he might even buy a few more.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"You actually have so many servant girls in your hands?"

Wang Lidong Gang Gang roughly estimated that there were more than 50 people brought by Qian Mimao this time.

And from what she said just now, there are still some shabby maidservants in her hands.

It startled him.

This time is not the era of war and famine, how could there be so many children to sell.

And there is not only one dental clinic in Linjiang County
Qian Yapo seemed to have seen Wang Lidong's thoughts, and hurriedly explained the reason.

It was also the fault of the Japanese pirates. A battle at the beginning of this year, coupled with occasional visits to the island to burn, kill, and loot, resulted in a large number of orphaned and widowed children.

Wang Lidong nodded after hearing this, and his expression eased.

But the suspicion in his heart deepened a little bit, but he remembered the brutality of the Japanese pirates.

Every time I go ashore, I will not be relentless and kill the child when I see it.

However, this matter is still uncertain, and we need to send someone to investigate.

Then Wang Lidong looked at the fifty or so children.

Most of them are thin and thin, their faces are disheveled, and they are wearing dirty burlap, and the eyes of most of them are full of fear.

Seeing this, Qian Yapo immediately pulled out the two maidservants who were more outstanding from the group.

"Master Lin, look at these two little girls, they are the best girls in my life. They are still young now, and when they are a few years older, they will definitely be very beautiful, even if they are concubines."

Qian Yapo, who originally wanted to brag a few more words, saw Wang Lidong's face became unswerving, and hurriedly said:
"I'm talking too much. Master Lin, please choose it yourself. One only costs ten taels of silver. If others want to buy it, they can get 12 taels of silver."

Lin Jian was dissatisfied and said:

"Qian Yamao, your price is too expensive. In Rongcheng, there are only eight taels of maids like this at most, let alone Beitai Island."

"Steward Lin, the eight taels of silver you said, can be as dignified as maids like me."

Wang Lidong called Lin Jian and told him in a low voice that he wanted these dozens of maids and servants, and asked him to negotiate the price with Mrs. Qian.

After Lin Jian listened, he suddenly felt that his brain was a little out of control.

What on earth does Young Escort want?

"Buy them all? This...is a bit too much. You don't need so many people in the small garden where you live."
