Chapter 20 The Family

Qin Zhao stood on the flat top of Chiyun Peak, looking at the thirty servants standing straight in front of him.

Qin Ning, Zhao Liangce and Huang Deneng stood aside.

These thirty strong men were selected by Qin Zhao from Qinjia Village, and they were all the strongest and tallest people in the village. Qin Zhao hired these strong men and gave them three or two months of money every month, and also included food and accommodation.

Such treatment is excellent in this era, and you can't find it even if you really have a lantern. You can hire a helper and handyman in Guangzhou City for one or five cents. Qin Zhao also saw that these strong men were doing heavy physical exercise every day, and they had to go to the battlefield to survive and die, so they gave such a high monthly money.

This is the first armed force established by Qin Zhao after traveling through time. Everything will start with this thirty-person armed force.

Facing thirty people, Qin Zhao, who was a second generation, was not frightened and shouted loudly: "You are a strong man. In the past, Qin Zhao and I were playmates in the same village. Brothers, we are intimate at will. But from today, we will no longer be playmates. From today on, you will be my Qin Zhao's servant. Have you been clear about it?"

Thirty people shouted in unison: "I understand!"

Qin Zhao said again: "You are now paying three or two months' money every month, and you can also include food and accommodation. On this Peak, you are waiting for each person and a room. Every meal is filled with white rice and fragrant meat. In the eyes of ordinary people, you are living like a county schoolmate."

"It takes less than two years, and you can save dozens of taels of silver to get married. If you already have a family, you can have a child open. If you raise two more, you can afford to raise three children!"

"Do you know why I, Qin Zhao, give you such a bright future?"

Qin Zhao's servants looked at each other for a while, but no one answered.

Qin Zhao walked a few steps in front of the queue and said loudly: "Because you are the first group of soldiers who follow me, Qin Zhao. From now on, my career will become bigger and bigger, and you will be veterans. Today I will set up your example to show the people who follow me in the future and see how bright the future is to follow me, Qin Zhao."

Hearing Qin Zhao's words, the servants looked at each other. How brave is Qin Zhao? He actually gave him such good treatment to make others look at him. Could it be that he really wants to be a mountain king in the future?

Qin Ning and Zhao Liangce looked at each other and felt that Qin Zhao really had such a possibility. If he hadn't wanted to be the mountain king, why did he hire a servant to take over the Tao Yunfeng?

Without giving the servants time to think about it, Qin Zhao continued, "Listen, please. Today, I took my Qin Zhao's silver and ate my Qin Zhao's meat. From now on, you will be my Qin Zhao's person. In the future, whether you are defending the mountain, entering the city to protect my shops and goods, or going down the mountain to fight, I, Qin Zhao, have the same idea, but you can only move forward!"

"But if you disobey the order, you will be severely punished! Be a deserter on the battlefield and kill him!"

Hearing Qin Zhao's decisive words, the thirty servants were a little scared. After all, Qin Zhao, who was standing in front of him, killed more than fifty bandits with his own strength and saved more than a dozen villages in dire straits. Such a killer's words were done to do what he said.

Who dares to try the skills of this god of killing with his own body?

Thirty servants had a pale face, but their bodies subconsciously stood up straighter, for fear that Qin Zhao would find out the problem.

"Some people are worried that I, Qin Zhao, don't have enough money, and I can only support you for a few months."

"Don't worry, I can support you servants. I, Qin Zhao, have the confidence to support you, not by the capture of Chiyunfeng, but by the business I will run in the future! I will sell some goods that I can make money in Guangzhou in a few days and make money! At that time, there will naturally be profits every month, and there will naturally be money to support you, etc."

Qin Zhao said, "Don't worry, as long as you follow me, your future will be bright. I will not understand the distant future even if I talk about it. I will say that it is close. If any of you have less than five taels of money in three years, come to Qin Zhao to argue with me."

"As long as you are obedient, nothing is a problem!"

Hearing Qin Zhao's words, the soldiers standing in the queue stood even more straight. Although I don't know what Qin Zhao said is true or false, it feels so good to have a chance.

The monthly money of three liang has already made the matchmakers worry about it. If the monthly money of five liang a month, what kind of life would it be?

Not only can you marry a wife, but you can also take a concubine?

Taking a concubine is too far away, but at least three or four children have money.

"Now my task is to exercise your basic physical fitness, eat more food, eat more meat and sleep more after exercise. The first step is to strengthen your body, and the second step is to find an instructor to teach you how to use weapons!"

Thirty strong men heard Qin Zhao's words and thought that such a life was too comfortable. Exercise and eat meat to sleep. Is this a fairy life considered a life of a god? They all couldn't help but smile.

Qin Zhao nodded and walked back and forth in front of everyone, thinking about what else to say.

In fact, Qin Zhao felt that there were too few thirty families. After all, this was the seventeenth year of Chongzhen. According to the historical knowledge mastered by Qin Zhao, Emperor Chongzhen would soon hang himself in Coal Mountain, and the world would enter a more chaotic Southern Ming Dynasty. Now, Guangzhou Prefecture, as a place far away in Lingnan, is relatively peaceful compared to the north. However, once Chongzhen dies in his country, it can be predicted that more thieves and thieves will increase from all over the country.

After the orthodox court represented by Chongzhen was destroyed, I don’t know how many villagers, military households, and veterans in the battalions would follow the thief. By then, Qin Zhao’s thirty servants were not enough to see in front of the large thieves.

It was about to be the chaotic times of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Qin Zhao really wanted to build a bigger armament that was enough to make a living in Lingnan.

But Qin Zhao lacked money.

Qin Zhao asked Qin Youli to sell the spoils from the mountain to the market in the previous few days, and sold two pieces of silk, domestic pigs, and goats. Eleven taels of gold were also exchanged for silver. These things were sold in total for 223 taels of silver.

Including the 400 taels of silver he had given him and the 33 taels of silver left after the money he had given him at that time, Qin Zhao now only had 650 taels of silver. This 800 taels of silver can support thirty servants for four or five months.

Even if you add the money you can hide in the back mountain, you can only add five or six months.

Even if he sells a tiger horse, he can only spend 150 taels of silver. The horse is a good horse, and it is a strategic material in this troubled time, so Qin Zhao is reluctant to sell it.

So Qin Zhao was short of money and could not recruit more servants. As the people were too much, the money was spent all at once. At that time, fifty strong men followed Qin Zhao to join Yunfeng to boost their momentum, but later Qin Zhao gave up twenty people, leaving only thirty people behind.

If you want to gain a foothold in troubled times, you must have soldiers. To raise soldiers, making money is the top priority.

Qin Zhao thought about it like a way to make some money.

He was thinking there, but saw Qin Youli climbing up from the bottom of the mountain with a wooden stick.
