Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 135
Shen Ying's initial plan was to let Li Jing place people in Zhangde, Weihui, Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Luoyang and other places to be in charge of the local car and horse dealers, and ask them to call a group of people locally to pull up the framework first.

This requires the strong cooperation of Ma Wu's subordinates, but Ma Wu believes that the management of the car and horse shop requires too many people, and his people are afraid that they will not be able to take care of them.

Considering that Ma Wu is responsible for collecting intelligence, and his subordinates still need to be in charge of their own property, and they really don’t have the energy to manage the car dealership, Shen Ying finally adopted a compromise method, letting Ma Wu’s people take charge of the car dealership temporarily, such as Weihui Mansion was managed by Ma Shouye and Qing He, who will be re-searched for management in the future.

The meeting went smoothly, but there was still a dispute in the end. The dispute was about recruiting people. Sun Meng, Gao Qi, and Shen Zheng and others did not agree to recruit people from the society.

Sun Meng's reason is: I have thousands of brothers under me, but which one of them doesn't have any relatives?Arrange work for their families, and they still don't die in loyalty to us?
Gao Qi and Shen Zheng's opinion is to use the brothers' family members to do this job.

Gao Qi and Shen Zheng's reason is: the fat and water don't flow to outsiders' fields, we arrange jobs for the brothers' families to make them earn money, these brats don't train to death!It means turning the work of a car dealership into a welfare package to reward subordinates.

So Gao Qi and Shen Zheng formed a camp, and Sun Meng formed a camp of his own.

On the surface, the combination of Shen Zheng and Gao Qi has a high position and strength in Hongshanling. Sun Meng is obviously not an opponent, but Sun Meng represents a disadvantaged group. Sun Meng's subordinates get a lot of sympathy because they get little salary. For a while, the two sides were at a stalemate.

Shen Ying had never encountered such a situation. At this time, the new leader obviously couldn't handle such a problem, so Li Jing came forward. This guy changed from a host to a leader, and he was the highest leader.

Li Jing is very clear that from the perspective of caring for his subordinates, both Sun Meng and Gao Qi's views are correct.But there is one thing that they obviously forgot, what exactly is the carriage and horse business?

Li Jing cleared his throat. Seeing that the top leader was about to speak, the two sides in the argument immediately quieted down. It should be said that the top leader's prestige is still very high.

"Father-in-law, two brothers, it's not wrong for you to consider the interests of your subordinates, but I don't know if you have ever thought about what our car dealership does? Besides helping us inquire about news, pass on information, and help us make money, it What else can you do for us?" Li Jing asked.

Everyone was speechless, they really hadn't thought about what else they could do, and for a while everyone began to think hard.

After a while, everyone finally gave up and all looked at Li Jing.

Li Jing sighed. It seemed that these people would not grow up without going through real battles.

"Let me ask you, if I want to capture Zhangde Mansion, what is the fastest way?" Li Jing asked.

Sun Meng said with a smile: "That's not a question, of course I will lead my men to respond from the city, attacking from inside and outside."

Li Jingjing nodded: "Yes, an internal and external attack is the fastest way to capture a strong city. Zhangde has you to support it, and even Wei Hui has brothers named Liu to support it, but what about other places? If I want to capture Zhengzhou, who will support it? "

Without waiting for everyone to answer, Li Jing said: "No one can respond, we can only find a way to send people into the city, but with the war, is it so easy to sneak into the city? I'm afraid it will be difficult?"

Hearing this, Gao Qi suddenly said: "Brother, I understand. Carriage and horse shops operating in various prefectures and counties means that we arrange people in various places. Since they are doing legitimate business, the government will never be punished. Be skeptical of them. They are our best insiders when we are about to launch an attack somewhere."

Li Jingjing nodded and said: "That's it. Then what do you think we can do by arranging those old and weak people to enter the car dealership? Even if we help others escort their property, these people are useless, right?"

"Brother, do you mean to arrange for those trained brothers to go?" Ma Wu said happily.

Ma Wu couldn't help but be unhappy, because half of the car and horse shops belonged to his intelligence department. If dozens of trained people were arranged to join in each place, the strength of the intelligence department would immediately increase greatly.

Li Jing smiled and said: "Yes, I plan to select [-] soldiers from the auxiliary soldiers to join the chariot and horse dealership. In addition, Lao Sun will arrange [-] soldiers to join in, and Lao Liu will also give him [-] places. , what do you think?"

"Brother, the auxiliary soldiers have been training for nearly half a year, should we wait for their assessment before selecting candidates?" Gao Qi continued.

"Okay, you can arrange the assessment." Li Jing nodded and said.

Sun Meng thought for a while and said, "Brother, there is no problem with the selection of 300 people under my command, but what about the salary?"

Li Jing waved his hand and said: "Tell your subordinates, the salary is a lot, and the wages of the carriage and horse shop are also a lot of them, but you have to tell them that if you enter the carriage and horse shop, you can't stop training. If you can't get on at the critical time Go, see for yourself!"

"Brother, don't worry, if these boys have loose bowels, I will peel their skin!" Sun Meng said loudly.

"My son-in-law, the car and horse dealership still needs a lot of handlebars for driving. We can't let these people drive the carts to load the goods, right? Shall we find some more handlebars?" Shen Zheng asked.

Li Jingjing nodded and said: "En! These people are found from the family members of the brothers, and some are also arranged by the old grandson. Also, we can find some ordinary people who are responsible for the work, we can't just get a bunch of perennial dancers. People with knives and guns enter the carriages and horses, which is too noticeable."

"Brother, there are too many people needed in Zhengzhou. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to send people from other places. Brother Sun and I both worked at Qianhu Office in Zhengzhou, and there are many friends there. Do you want to give them some too?" Sweets?" Gao Qi said suddenly.

Li Jing thought for a while and said: "It makes sense, Zhengzhou is the key, and you can't be negligent, but you can't come forward, you have to let Lao Sun do it, after all, you have lost contact with Zhengzhou, and suddenly appeared If not, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble."

Gao Qi nodded.

The manpower issue of the car and horse dealership was arranged, the meeting was declared over, and everyone left one after another.

Seeing that Ma Wu's body was very thin, Li Jing's heart tightened, and he hurriedly called out, "Fifth brother, stay here for a while."

After finishing speaking, Li Jing turned back to Shen Ying and said, "Let Xiaodie cook something delicious for lunch, and I will have some wine with my husband and fifth brother."

Shen Ying nodded, got up and poured a cup of tea for Yuan Keli, Li Jing and Ma Wu, and then went to the back kitchen to make arrangements.

Li Jing turned his head to look at Ma Wudao: "Fifth brother, I'll have lunch here at noon, we two brothers haven't got together alone for a long time."

Ma Wu said with a smile: "Then bother the elder brother."

Li Jing smiled and patted Ma Wu's shoulder lightly.

At noon, Xiaodie cooked six dishes. This was because Ma Wu specially added two dishes to entertain her. On weekdays, Yuan Keli and Li Jing's family had a maximum of four dishes.

Looking at the simple dishes in front of him, Ma Wu opened his eyes wide, pointed at the dishes on the table and said in surprise: "Brother, do you and your husband usually eat this?"

Li Jingjing nodded, and Yuan Keli smiled and said, "It's Jimin who takes care of me. In fact, I'm already old. How much can I eat? As long as I can eat enough!"

"Isn't this too poor? Even if the husband and elder brother can bear it, can the sister-in-law bear it?" Ma Wu asked doubtfully.

Li Jing waved his hands and said in a low voice, "Hold down, don't let my sister-in-law hear me, I want her to suffer a little bit!"

Ma Wuqi said: "Why?"

Li Jing said softly: "I want her to experience how the poor live, so that she will be sympathetic to the difficulties of the poor in the future."

At this time, Shen Ying took the jug and walked into the hall, Li Jing and others hurriedly shut up when they saw it.

Shen Ying filled the wine glasses for the three of them, then saluted and said, "Sir, uncle, please use it slowly!"

Ma Wu hurriedly got up and said, "Don't dare."

Li Jing waved his hand to signal Ma Wu to sit down, then raised his wine glass to Yuan Keli and Ma Wu and said, "Sir, Brother Wu, I would like to toast you."

After speaking, he raised his glass and drank it.

Ma Wu hurriedly picked up the wine glass and drank it up, Yuan Keli also picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Li Jing picked up the jug and was about to pour wine for Ma Wu. Ma Wu hurriedly got up to grab the jug. Li Jing waved his hand and said, "Fifth brother, you have worked hard this year. I should pour wine for you. Sit down. I'll pour the wine!"

Ma Wu couldn't argue, so he had to sit down and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? If it weren't for you, Ma Wu would still be robbing houses and houses, and it's not certain whether he would live to this day."

Li Jing shook his head and sighed: "Knowing me may not be a good thing, you are running around all day, and you are worried about revealing your identity and being caught by the government. Seeing you so tired, I feel bad!"

Ma Wu picked up the wine glass and got up and said, "What are you talking about, brother? Although Ma Wu is a bit tired now, he is living a happy life. When the day the elder brother succeeds, if Ma Wu can still live, then this life will not be in vain! Brother, you If you really treat Ma Wu as a brother, never mention such things in the future!"

After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Li Jingjing nodded and raised his glass to finish the wine, then waved Ma Wu to sit down, and at the same time raised his chopsticks to signal Ma Wu to eat.

Ma Wu picked up the jug and filled it up for Li Jing, and then raised his chopsticks to eat a mouthful of food.

"Jimin, Ma Wu, the two of you brothers are sympathetic to each other, I'm glad to see it, but Ma Wu has too many things to do now, I think you have to let him lighten the burden." Yuan Keli took a bite of the food and said.

"That's right, fifth brother travels around all day, and also needs to take care of the business in various places. It's really too tiring." Li Jing sighed.

After a pause, Li Jing continued: "Fifth brother, let's do this. From now on, your sister-in-law will help you manage the properties in various places. Just tell her how much money you need, so that you can be much more relaxed."

Then Li Jing patted Ma Wu lightly, looked into Ma Wu's eyes and said, "Fifth Brother, we brothers, I don't tell lies. Look at how thin you have become this year? Our brothers have been together since Jinniuling, and no one else is as close as our brothers. If we can succeed one day, I still want you to enjoy a few more years of blessings, Live a better life for a few more years. This is my heart! But if you don't want your sister-in-law to help you manage those properties, just tell me, and I will never mention it again. "
