Late Qing Dynasty Executioner

Chapter 84 Old Drifter
He had a good sleep and sweet dreams that night. He went to bed before it got dark and got up at dawn. The next day, Chen Gu felt refreshed.

With the help of the two women, Chen Gu put on a silk gown. It was his first time wearing silk and he always felt uncomfortable as it slid across his body.

"Wait for the new cloth to arrive in a few days, and make me two sets of cloth clothes. I need to train soldiers recently, and it is somewhat inconvenient to wear these clothes."

"Is it so hard, Master?" Qin Ling asked in surprise, "Not only do you have to get up so early, but you also have to train with everyone else?"

"Everything in the mountain village needs to be rebuilt, and there are many things to do!" Chen Gu said with a wry smile.

Wu Qing'er frowned and glanced at Qin Ling, signaling her not to ask any more questions. She then asked, "Master, what does Dashi want to eat?"

"Just whatever you want, four dishes and one soup will do!" Chen Gu thought for a moment and said, "From today on, you guys go out and buy the ingredients. Tell Zhang Haomin that the old man and I will receive our monthly salary, and let him arrange a salary for you two!"

"Do we two also have salaries?" Qin Ling asked in surprise.

Chen Gu smiled and said, "As long as there is a job, there will be a salary!"

"Then what is our mission?" Wu Qing'er asked.

"No problem, I'll go back right away!" Bian Yuan smiled and bowed, then left Zhongyi Hall. When he went out, he met Zhang Haomin and the leaders of each row coming in, so there was another round of greetings.

Chen Gu nodded and said, "That's good, let's go back now. I hope that what I need will appear in the Buddha Treasure in the afternoon!"

Zhang Haomin frowned and asked, "Then what should we do?"

"Young Master!" After entering the room, everyone saluted to Chen Gu.

"Yeah!" Chen Gu nodded. He did ask Bian Yuan to come and see him yesterday, but it didn't matter if he delayed it for one night.

Chen the Assassin went out to Zhongyi Hall and sent someone to find Bian Yuan.

"Hello, brothers!" Chen Gu returned the greeting, and after everyone sat down, he said, "I need to build up the combat team as soon as possible, so I will not participate in the reform. The early foundation will be discussed by the brothers!"

"I need a lot of supplies now. The specific list is still being compiled, but salt, cloth, refined iron, pork and other things are urgently needed, so you can go back to the Bian family now and gather a batch for me as soon as possible. I hope you won't be too high in terms of price!"

"Young Master!" Bian Yuan entered the room, bowed to Chen the Assassin, and said with a smile, "I heard that Young Master had gone home yesterday, so I didn't bother him!"

Several people couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't know why Chen Gu, who wanted to reform, didn't participate.

"Don't worry about the price, Young Master. The Bian family is engaged in long-term business and will definitely give you an acceptable price." Bian Yuan said with a smile.

Chen Gu reached out and touched Wu Qing'er's fair and smooth face, and said with a smile: "It is your job to take care of my food and daily life. Let's go!"

"Just wait and see. The purpose of the reform is to deal with various problems of Shanzhai and to make Shanzhai develop better. As long as you follow the idea, you will not go wrong in general.

For example, if the Buddhist Treasure needs someone to manage it, we will arrange for someone to manage it. For example, if the brothers need someone to cook, we will ask someone to cook. "Chen Gu said with a smile.

"Does that mean we need to increase the number of management staff?" Lao Sha asked. Chen Gu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's about right. Of course, we don't need to blindly increase the number of management staff. Everything should be done properly, that is, everyone should be in their proper place.

In fact, whether it is a family, a country, or a village, there are only so many people. Just put each person in the right position to do what he should do, and everything will be in order.”

Chen Gu had no choice. The current management model of the village was definitely not suitable, but he did not have the ability to come up with a new model. So he simply handed it over to Zhang Haomin and others who were familiar with the situation of the village to discuss it.

It doesn’t really matter whether it works or not, you can just change it slowly according to your needs later.

The leader of the 10th platoon, Lao Piao, rolled his eyes and said, "Then I don't think it's appropriate for me to stay here to discuss things. Anyway, I can't come up with any good ideas. It would be better for me to teach my brothers martial arts."

Lao Piao was only about twenty years old and had a baby face, but he was more than a head taller than Chen Gu when he stood up. He was estimated to be nearly 1.9 meters tall. He looked a little thin, but he weighed nearly 200 kilograms. He could eat two kilograms of rice and two kilograms of pork in one meal, and drink a large bowl of soup.

Lao Piao was not a boat tracker, but a monk in a Buddhist temple called Dengyun Mountain in Shidu, which was also the Bian family. He was kicked out because he ate too much.

At that time, Lao Piao was only fifteen years old. He didn't know where to go after leaving the mountains, but people always have to eat. After working as a helper for a few days, his family disliked him for eating too much, so he started to rob people on the road by himself, until he was recruited to the mountain village by Liu Er. It has been more than four years since then.

Seeing that Lao Piao had amazing bones, Liu Er once taught him martial arts personally and even wanted to take him as his apprentice. However, after learning that Liu Er was an executioner, Lao Piao was unwilling to do so.

Since the old man wanted to get married and have children, Liu Er did not force him.

Lao Piao has always been the one teaching martial arts in the mountain village, but no one is willing to learn martial arts from Lao Piao. This guy always beats people on purpose under the guise of teaching, and he also complains to the authorities after being beaten. Even Liu Er doesn't care, and no one else can control him.

Chen Gu did ask Liu Er about this, and according to Liu Er, there was nothing Lao Piao could do, because Lao Piao's martial arts had reached a certain level, and if he wanted to improve, he had to rely on practical experience, but he couldn't find an opponent, so he could only beat people up to practice.

Chen Gu looked at Lao Piao and said with a smile: "Okay, then you can come with me!"

"Haha, good brother!" When Lao Piao heard that Chen Gu agreed to let him leave Zhongyi Hall, he immediately stood up. After catching up with Chen Gu in a few steps, he patted Chen Gu on the shoulder to show his affection.

Although this guy had restrained his strength, Chen Gu was still grimacing in pain.

"Where are we going?" Lao Piao asked after leaving Zhongyi Hall.

"Go and select people first!" said Chen Gu.

"Who to choose? How to choose? What's the purpose of choosing?" asked Lao Piao.

Chen Gu explained: "Since we are going to train soldiers, we naturally need to choose the right soldiers!"

"Why do we need to choose?" Lao Piao said strangely, "Just pull everyone out to practice together. When fighting, won't everyone have to fight?"

"That was only the case when the village was small. Now it's different. We need people to farm, people to make weapons and armor, and people to fight. So we have to select the right people and train them!" Chen Gu explained.

"Is that so? How do I choose?"
