Chapter 197
Lu Chengan just smiled, but in his heart he praised Qin Ranran's timely words.

What do you like most about the gang of soldiers under your command?
What I like the most is that others praise them as members of the Moxi Army, and they have the demeanor of the Moxi Army!
"Brothers, sit down." Lu Chengan sat down first, and waved for everyone to sit down.

Qin Ranran also sat down on the chair next to Lu Chengan, and looked at everyone with a smile.

"General, it's been a few years since we left. I didn't expect the general to still remember us. When Vice President Lu came to find us the day before yesterday, we were all overjoyed." A burly Chinese character sitting at the front said with his hands folded.

Qin Ranran ordered Ding Xiang to serve tea in a low voice, while she sat quietly by the side and listened to everyone's greetings.

"How could I forget you, you, Chen Da, the deputy general of the Pioneer Battalion, killed more than 60 Tartars by yourself, and in the end, you were injured in your left arm, so you had to quit the Moxi Army."

"You, Li Gang, storming a thousand households..."

Lu Chengan pointed to the men sitting at the bottom, and every time he pointed to one, he would tell the most proud achievements and why he quit the Moxi Army.

The eyes of these men who had bled and sweated were all red.

"General!" Chen Da's voice was choked with sobs, and he covered his eyes with his big palm-like hands.

"How are you doing these days?" Lu Chengan sighed, and said, "I'm far away in Shangjing, and I can't do anything to help you. But now that I'm back, if there's anything I can do, I'll do it." Help you."

Chen Da rubbed his face and said with a smile: "General, apart from working hard, how can we do anything else? Now Liu Dahong has opened a bodyguard company, and the business is still going well. Many brothers are working under his hands. eat."

Liu Dahong also came here today, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "General, if you need me, I don't need to do this business."

Lu Chengan smiled and said: "Today it is my wife who wants to ask you. My wife wants to build a caravan between Suzhou and Shangjing, but because of the lack of manpower, I will pay attention to you. .”

Liu Dahong laughed, and patted himself on the chest: "General, madam, you really found the right person for me! What I need the most is a loyal and reliable brother."

Chen Da also said with a smile: "What's the difference between Madam's business and the general's business? Although we were all injured, it's okay to beat a few thieves."

Qin Ranran got up, and blessed everyone with a smile: "A few days ago, I was very troubled because of the lack of reliable people under my command. The general told me that he has a group of reliable brothers, and he introduced them to me after finishing talking today. When I saw you, I knew that you were the former department of the Moxi Army, that would be great."

"I don't know how to say nice things, so I will speak straight."

"I need a caravan escort to protect my goods between Suzhou and Shangjing. On weekdays, I also need a team of people to help me guard the warehouse in Suzhou."

"I still need two shopkeepers. One is to live in Shangjing for a long time. One is to be optimistic about my shop in Shangjing, and the other is to be optimistic about the trend of Shangjing and report back in time. The other one is in Suzhou, helping me manage a store for officials and women. shop."

"Then I need an accountant to take charge of the accounts around me."

Qin Ranran directly stated the manpower she needed, and looked at everyone.

Liu Dahong was the first to speak: "I will take care of the caravan guards. I will choose two teams of brothers. One team will only guard the caravan for my wife, and the other team will guard the warehouse for my wife."

A thin man sitting at the bottom stood up and said, "Ma'am, I am willing to go to Beijing. When I was in the Moxi Army, I was a spy. I am the best at listening to news."

On the contrary, Chen Da said with a bit of coyness: "Madam, the shop that faces officials and women, can I ask my mother-in-law to try it out?"

Qin Ranran couldn't help laughing out at the appearance of this tall and thick man: "I'm going to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow, so you ask your wife to come here at Shen Shi tomorrow afternoon and let me meet, and I'll make a decision."

Chen Da quickly responded.

"I believe in the general, and I also believe in the demeanor of the Moxi Army. Those who recommended themselves will prepare in the next few days. In the future, I will gather everyone in charge of the caravan so that everyone can get to know each other."

Everyone should be, Lu Chengan saw that they were talking about the same, motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said: "There is still one accountant left, Li Gang, what is your father up to lately?"

Li Gang stood up with a helpless smile and said: "What my father must do every day is to scold me in anger."

Everyone laughed and teased him: "Li Gang, what's wrong with your old man?"

Li Gang said with a smile: "Isn't it just about getting married and having children?"

Lu Chengan raised his eyebrows and asked, "I remember you are three or four years older than me, why haven't you married yet?"

"General, please don't say this to my old man, or I will not only be scolded when I go back." Li Gang quickly waved his hand, "I must meet a woman I like before I can get married. "

"Ask your old man to come over tomorrow at Shen Shi, and let my wife see you." After Lu Chengan finished speaking, he turned his head and explained to Qin Ranran, "Mr. Li is the most upright, and he is the accountant who retired from the army. See you later."

Qin Ranran nodded, and the big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

What she has been most worried about all along is that there is not enough manpower, and the newly recruited people will be unreliable.

Now, with these Lu Chengan brothers, this problem is easily solved.

"Then it's settled. At the end of the next day, everyone gathers together and goes to the third shop on the east side of the main street in the west of the city facing south." Qin Ranran smiled at the crowd and said, "Today everyone If you have nothing to do, stay and have a drink with the general."

Everyone declined and said: "Madam, we all have to go back and get ready. It's not too late to drink after we finish our business in the future."

Qin Ranran didn't stay any longer, and ordered Steward Li to send everyone out.

"I still have a group of people to meet." Lu Chengan said to Qin Ranran after watching everyone leave the door, "You see, too, these are the guards of our house."

Qin Ranran nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip, sitting on the chair, thinking carefully.

Lu Shi's figure suddenly appeared outside the door. He hesitated for a moment and was about to leave when Qin Ranran saw him.

"Lu Shi, come in and talk." She raised her voice and called Lu Shi in.

"Ma'am." Lu Shi saluted Lu Chengan and Qin Ranran after entering the room, "I've settled with that child, but he has a request."

"He wants to worship Madam as his teacher."

 Last night I dreamed that I was dead... and fell into the sea... I don't know why
