Chapter 159 Looking for roosters and thieves on 10/34(1/2)
All Chinese people will know the story of the robbers crowing and dogs stealing.
However, many young people do not know that the idiom "chicken and dog thieves" originally represented a spirit of "although they are weak in ability, they can play a huge role at critical moments."
Didn’t Mengchangjun, one of the four princes of the Warring States Period, be so arrogant that he was able to escape from Qin and return to his hometown by relying on the robbers at home?
If there were no diners who crowed and robbed, Mengchangjun would probably be imprisoned until death by the Qin State like the tragic King Huai of Chu.
When Liu Mingqi saw this story when she was a child, she couldn't help but sigh.
As expected, there is no useless person, it just depends on where you put him or her.
If used well, even the thieves who crow and dogs can help their lives!
Unfortunately, modern society is already highly developed. It is no longer realistic to find such a thief who is crowing and robbing for his own use.
As a result, I never expected that I would travel to ancient times and have such an opportunity to be a contemporary Mengchangjun.
Mengchangjun is most famous for being rich, generous, generous, and never caring about superiority and inferiority. As long as he is willing to defect to him, he can give him a bowl of rice.
Although such people are often regarded as suckers and are abandoned by many people during crisis, you must say that in ancient times, many people still knew how to be grateful.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people following him to risk his life to Qin State, and the robbers who crowed and thieves appeared and saved his life.
Liu Mingqi will not learn from Mengchangjun completely, and he does not have the kind of mind that Mengchangjun is.
But isn’t it good to follow Mengchangjun to learn, recruit some useful talents, and contribute your own strength to Prince Yu’s Mansion?
In the past, there were only more than 200 people in Prince Yu's mansion, and the most outstanding person under Liu Mingqi was Chi San and Dazhu.
When I was in a small stall, I was able to be at ease. Now there are more and more stalls and bigger ones. How can I do without some talents?
Not to mention that Dazhu is only responsible for Liu Mingqi's comfort. In fact, the younger generation is only Chi San.
He is now in charge of soap, alcohol, toilet paper, and sugar that he is preparing to make big. He is already unable to do anything else. What if there is another deal?
Liu Mingqi gave Chi San the position he was not in the supervisor of one aspect, but in charge of those supervisors.
So he needs more talent.
Even if there are twenty or thirty, he can eat them steadily.
Today I came to prison, which is an opportunity to find talents.
But if you say you're looking for it all from prison, it's just a joke.
It's all good luck to meet one or two.
...
Su Zishan left the cell, and Liu Mingqi walked out and walked between the two rows of cells.
The yamen runners and the embroidered garbled, thinking to themselves that you can't rest as idle as little prince.
But they didn't care.
Not to mention that Liu Mingqi is coming out for a walk, if he set up a table outside for dinner, they will have to help.
What they care about is that those prisoners should not make trouble and do not hurt Liu Mingqi.
Fortunately, a group of prisoners knew Liu Mingqi's identity, otherwise the look of his eyes as if he was shopping and picking animals would trigger the prisoners' urge to beat people.
After walking around, Liu Mingqi understood a little, what it means to be born from the heart.
Those who steal the dog looked a little wrong at first sight, shrank, and their faces were also a bit vulgar.
However, Liu Mingqi saw a thirty-year-old man who was thin, thick, but weak, leaning against the wall and looking back at him with a calm look. This was interesting.
Two yamen runners stood at the door of his cell.
Liu Mingqi asked casually, "Who is this person? What did you do?"
"Report to your highness, he eats a king's meal." A yamen runner bowed, "I ate the banquet of about 10 taels of silver, but I couldn't pay it. The store couldn't report to the official, so we brought him back."
"10 taels of silver?"
Liu Mingqi was amazed.
The business of Prince Yu’s mansion used to be a restaurant, but he knew that he could have a good banquet for 2 taels of silver.
The yamen runner added in agreement: "The key is that he didn't drink alcohol, didn't order expensive dishes, just ordinary stir-frying and meat dishes. He went to a big restaurant, and he ate 10 taels of silver. It's really a bucket of rice!"
Liu Mingqi smiled, "Hey, man, are you born with a big belly or have you been hungry for many days?"
"All of them." The man said lazily.
"You have hands and feet, why don't you go to work and earn money to eat, but instead start eating the King's meal?" Liu Mingqi said.
"I said I wanted to help them clean up their work, but they refused." The man said distressedly.
Liu Mingqi is Men Qing: "Are you talking nonsense? They keep you working and you have to provide food and accommodation. You can't get back the wages for three days! Who dares to keep you?"
The man sighed, "When I was in my hometown before, the same was true for those restaurants."
It turns out to be a habitual offender.
The boy smiled, "You can't live every place and eat a king meal, right?"
"No." said the man, "I knew they would not hire me, so I went to the mountains to hunt and pick fruits for a living. However, this year the locust plague was severe, and countless people flocked to the mountains. The wild beasts and fruit trees in the mountains were in trouble. I had no entry and had to go down the mountain. Before I arrived in the capital, I had not eaten for 5 days."
"He is good. After entering the cell, one person can eat two bowls of bran porridge and three bran cakes." The yamen runner smiled bitterly, "If it weren't for the fact that our police yamen had some inventory, maybe he would have to be put out early and could not be raised!"
Miao Yan is a child of the Legal family, so he will not discriminate against prisoners.
Because the prisoners are already being punished, the government has no reason to abuse them.
Even in such a difficult environment, the prison cells of the Imperial Palace Police Office can still provide basic food, which is better than many ordinary people who fled the famine.
If the people were not for their simplicity, many people might have to go to prison to make a living.
"How much can I give you?" Liu Mingqi was shocked. This was even more advanced than modern prisons.
"How can it be!" said the yamen runner: "Every time he comes up, he will try his best to grab something to eat. Others will beat him if they don't eat it, but it's useless. He can still rush to eat it, even if he falls on the ground... What can I do if I encounter such a rogue?"
Oh, this is the deadbeat in the cell.
Liu Mingqi nodded and turned to the man and said, "What are your abilities?"
The man looked at him, "Are you really the little prince?"
"Nonsense! This is our only son of Prince Yu, the serious prince!" a yamen runner said with a compliment.
"Yeah, that's right."
The man said to himself: "It's not the little prince, why are you so nervous to protect him? How could he be sent in by the chief of the chief officer in person? He doesn't have to wear sterns, and he can enter and exit freely at will?"
Speaking of this, a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes: "Little Prince, I can be beaten very much, I can shoot arrows."
When he mentioned archery, Liu Mingqi remembered the powerful crossbowman who almost killed him and Bao Kai when he was in Xiqiu Village.
If Bao Kai had not sacrificed himself to save him, if it wasn't for Dazhu's natural powerful general, if Chi San had not rushed in with his men in time, what would be the result? It is still unknown.
This is just a powerful crossbowman. If Xiqiu Village gets 10... no, only 5 powerful crossbows are used, Liu Mingqi and others are likely to be doomed.
From this aspect, we can see the role of a ranged attacker.
Just like fighting monsters in the game, without remote output, it is simply a dream to finally kill the boss.
When he recalled the man, he had been hunting in the mountains a few years ago, and Liu Mingqi felt that this man's archery skills must be good, otherwise he would have starved to death with his appetite.
Liu Mingqi thought of it and told the yamen runners: "Let him out and find a pair of bows and arrows by the way."
Before the yamen runner could speak, the embroidered guard who was watching the show on the opposite side quickly said, "Your Highness, safety is the best."
"With you here, what else am I afraid of?" Liu Mingqi said, "Besides, this is not a place to detain the deadly prisoners. He will be able to go out in a few days. Do you want to be beheaded directly because of hijacking the prince?"
A group of prisoners next to him who held their ears up and listened nodded repeatedly.
Only idiots do that.
It’s not that I’m sentenced to death after the autumn, and I have no way to go, and I have to fight to survive.
If you are just a small matter of stealing, how can you do such a big battle?
Instead, they were afraid that the little prince would cause trouble for them.
Liu Mingqi said this, and there are twenty yamen runners embroidered yamen guards here, and there are no less than a hundred people outside. The yamen runners and embroidered yamen guards are not really worried.
Someone went out to look for the bow and arrow immediately.
The man was also released from the cell.
When he walked out, Liu Mingqi realized that this man was shorter than himself, about 1.6 meters tall.
Of course, in ancient times, it was normal to have such a height. After all, it was insufficient nutrition and it was difficult to grow taller and stronger.
Seeing him feeling a little excited, Liu Mingqi said: "I will show me your archery skills later. If you have the ability, I will take you home and make you my guard."
The man was not a fool. He swallowed his saliva and said earnestly: "Don't worry about it?"
"However you eat, you can eat as much as you eat in a day." Liu Mingqi laughed, "But the prerequisite is that you have the ability."
"OK!"
While the man answered, a strong aura suddenly emerged from his body, and his eyes immediately became calm and sharp.
