The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 537 Defense (2)
Mr. Xiao's old god is here, and Mr. Xiao's health has been going up and down these days.However, Mr. Xiao is not a person who gives up easily, so even if it looks bad, Mr. Xiao has always persisted and refused to fall.Old Master Xiao opened his eyes, looked at the refugees gathered around, and asked, "Since Ming Yu said so, I guess he already has a solution."

Xiao Mingyu nodded with a smile, "You can't hide anything from the old man. Reasoning is useless to deal with these hungry and crazy refugees. It's not enough to rely on fists alone, let alone we don't have that many fists. The only effective way , is to let these refugees help us drive away the refugees."

Old Master Xiao's eyes flickered, staring at Xiao Mingyu, "How to catch up?"

Xiao Mingyu said, "These refugees, no accident, all come from the same place. We can recruit the strong among them as guards, and give them food and wages. As long as we save a little, these refugees can feed a family of three or four. We can also recruit Some women do the work of sweeping the kitchen and sewing and washing. These people have a way to live, and they are people with prestige among the refugees. With them, the remaining refugees are not to be feared. In order to keep their jobs, these people must be more We are even more desperate to resist those refugees with evil intentions. In this way, not only can we solve our problems, it can also be regarded as accumulating blessings and virtues, and we can also recruit enough loyal and cheap people for the Xiao family."

Mr. Xiao looked at Xiao Mingzhen, "Mingzhen, what do you think?"

Xiao Mingzhen nodded, "Grandpa, grandson agrees with Ming Yu's idea. The refugees are like flies that smell rotten eggs, they will only accumulate more and more. If we don't take appropriate measures, I am afraid that all our belongings will be robbed by these refugees in the end." Go. These people are very hungry, what kind of benevolence and morality, for them, there is no real pancake."

Mr. Xiao nodded gratifiedly, "Yes, yes. At the beginning of the matter, you realized the harm of these refugees and came up with an appropriate way to solve it. With the two of you here, I am very relieved, and I can rest assured Leave the matter in your hands. Go ahead and do it according to your own ideas. If you don’t have enough food and money, ask Butler Xiao for it. He will fully cooperate with you.”

"The old man praises it. With the support of the old man, my grandson will definitely handle this matter well."

Xiao Mingyu and Xiao Mingzhen resigned from Mr. Xiao.After some arrangements, Steward Xiao and a few burly servants went to inform the refugees that the Xiao family was going to recruit guards and rough envoys.Immediately, the refugee group became chaotic, noisy, and kept arguing.

Butler Xiao ran back, his hips still trembling, don't look at him when he was talking to the refugees, he put on a condescending look, in fact, he was terrified to death.He was afraid that those refugees would charge up and take his life if they didn't agree with each other.Fortunately, those refugees were not hungry enough to eat human flesh, so Steward Xiao returned safely.

According to the information inquired by Steward Xiao, this group of refugees is from three villages, with a total of nearly four to five hundred people.

Xiao Mingzhen asked Xiao Mingyu with his eyes.

Xiao Mingyu gritted his teeth, "The guards recruit fifty, and the wives recruit thirty. Men and women cannot belong to the same family, otherwise those who are not recruited may take risks. Steward Xiao, let someone set up a cauldron , Cook a pot of porridge. Since it is a recruitment, it is natural to conduct a test. Anyone who obeys the order, whether he is recruited by us or not, will have a bowl of porridge to drink. You will inform this. If anyone does not obey the rules, let Han Ba ​​and the others beat them If you go out, you will never be hired."

"The old slave understands, the old slave will arrange it now."

Xiao Mingzhen was puzzled, "Why do those who have not been recruited have to feed them?"

"Third brother, haven't you heard the truth that you don't worry about scarcity but inequality? We can only recruit 80 people, and there are three or 400 people who are destined to lose the election. It is impossible to rely on these 80 people to resist all refugees from the beginning. Yes, we must appease the remaining hundreds of people. Otherwise, under the instigation of their family members, those 80 people are likely to overthrow our Xiao family, and there will be no regrets at that time."

Xiao Mingzhen nodded, "What you said is reasonable, but I was wrong. Just do as you ordered."

Xiao Mingyu stood on the driver's seat, watching Han Ba ​​and the others assess those refugees with cold eyes.The method of assessment is very simple, that is, do push-ups.This was strongly requested by Xiao Mingyu. Han Ba ​​and the others felt that although this thing was simple, it was not an easy task for ordinary people to meet the standard.So Han Ba ​​and the others adopted Xiao Mingyu's method. For men, they used push-ups to test.Anyone who can do twenty standard push-ups in one go, the Xiao family will hire them as guards, with three meals a day and wages.If you want to sell yourself, sorry, the Xiao family will not buy anyone for the time being.If these people still want to sell themselves into the Xiao family when they arrive in the capital, the Xiao family will give priority to those who performed well during the period.

This is a chance, a chance to live.Not to mention that children aged seven or eight are desperately fighting, even old men in their sixties and seventies are not admitting defeat and want to compete with the middle-aged men for the only fifty spots.

Han Ba ​​received Xiao Mingyu's order, and he must be strict with him, never show favoritism, and must not have any sympathy.Even if the whole family is about to die, they cannot be recruited into the Xiao family's team if they fail the assessment.The most is to give two more bowls of gruel.

As for the recruitment of rough envoys, it is very simple, there is no need to do push-ups, first look at the hands, hands are dirtier than the face, no need.The old elders don't want long nails.Looking at the clothes of the whole body, people who can keep basically clean and tidy during the exile are people with a heart, and they are also people with a sense of responsibility and thoughtfulness. Such people are given priority.

Noisy, after an hour, the recruitment of personnel was completed.

Xiao Mingyu asked Xiao Mingzhen to give a lecture.Xiao Mingzhen was doing this kind of thing for the first time, and he was inexperienced, so he was unavoidably nervous.Fortunately, Xiao Mingyu typed up a draft for him, summing it up in one sentence: Follow the Xiao family to have meat to eat.Whoever dares not to make the Xiao family feel better, the Xiao family will let him have no place to be buried.Whoever dares to steal the things belonging to the Xiao family is the enemy of the Xiao family, and the enemy will be dealt with like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.The Xiao family will be responsible for killing him.

Xiao Mingzhen's speech was very successful and was recognized by the majority of refugees.As Xiao Mingzhen said earlier, talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality with refugees is not as real as a pancake.It is more useful to tell them that there is meat to eat than to give them gold and silver.Because nothing attracts these people more than food at the moment.

After finishing his speech, Han Ba ​​took people to train the newly recruited guards. They must understand orders before they can do things.

As for the thirty women, they were handed over to the women in charge for training.

Xiao Mingzhen handed the list to Xiao Mingyu, "Take a look, there is nothing inappropriate."

Xiao Mingyu looked through the list. Although there were a little more people with the same surname in the same village, it didn't affect the overall situation. "Very good, let's break up these people and make arrangements." Xiao Mingyu pointed to those people with the same surname in the same village and said, "Although we have no intention of harming others, we must have a heart of defense. The loyalty of these people is very low, We can't expect them to really do things for the Xiao family sincerely, so necessary measures are required."
