"I have some other places to use you, not only you, but also more people." Zhang Han ordered: "After you go back, you will help me pick some people. They all have the same situation as you, they are brave and dare to fight, and they are not very cunning. Find more people and say they can do things with me."

After hearing what Zhang Han said, Liang Xing and Yang Qiu came forward to get the money. Both of them looked a little excited. This time they just ran back and forth, never fought with others, and were not injured. They easily took so much. They used to fight with others halfway, and even the cost of medicine was only a few taels of silver. After all, they still have a better future with the rich Shaodong.

After the two of them took the money, Liang Xing knelt down and thanked: "Thank you for the reward of Shaodong. We will pick people when we go back and take them to Shaodong in two days to see him."

"Well, you guys go by yourself."

After Liang Xing and the others left, Zhou Fengji said uneasy: "How many guards do Shaodong need? These tigers are used to being casual, so it is not appropriate to be guards."

"This is exactly what I want to tell you." Zhang Han said: "You two follow me to the study and say it."

As he said that, Zhang Han was in front and two shopkeepers were behind, and the three of them went to the study together. There had been idle for a long time since Zhang Han didn't study.

Looking at the backs of the three people, Zhang Chun also stuck out his tongue. Before he knew it, it was only a little while before the young owner had stood firm and resolved the crisis. He successfully made the shopkeepers obey his words. He suddenly remembered that he might be using himself in the study, so he quickly picked up a pot of boiling water from the kitchen, took a cup and tea, and rushed over.

...

"That's it... In short, you have to hurry up, otherwise you can't catch up with it in one step or every step."

Zhang Han talked for half a day and was thirsty. Zhang Chun took a pot of tea in. He brewed a pot of tea in his own cup, held it in his hand and waited for the water to cool down, and then the warm and cold palms were warm.

The two shopkeepers sat like clay sculptures, without any movement for a while.

Zhang Han’s plans were not very complicated, and Liang Hong and Zhou Fengji were just shocked by his courage.

A mule and horse shop was established to provide delivery services and also acted as a bodyguard, responsible for the safe and damage-free delivery of goods. This method was used to train people and be familiar with business channels. The ultimate goal was to monopolize the smuggling trade with the Mongolians.

"Maybe some of the great bosses and officials, gentry and military generals are already doing this, but they are all in a row. It's not a day to settle the relationship between all parties. What we have to do is to seize the initiative and establish relationships with the Mongols first. At least, from Datong East Road to Zhangjiakou, this area is very important, we can grab it first!"

"Young Master, this is Wang Yong, this is Yang Sisun, this is Jiang Kui, this is Jiang Yi, the two of them are brothers, this is Wen Zhongfa, this is Liu Dequan..."

The Little New Year has passed, and in a short time, Zhang Han’s mule and horse stroll opened near Xinyuanmen on North Street.

There may be something else in Xinpingbao, but the one that cannot be missing is mules and horses. After Zhang Han discussed with the two shopkeepers, he spent more than two hundred to make such a large courtyard. It is a bit dilapidated and chaotic when he is a business here, so it is very suitable to use it as a mules and horse shop. The place is large and there are many houses that can be converted into stables.

Now there are more than 200 horses and more than 100 mules in the yard, and many people are employed to raise them. There are so many mules, so the beans you usually use usually cost a lot. Especially in winter, the price of forage is relatively high. Mules and horses cost nearly 2,000 silver, and they have to eat more than a dozen stone of beans and hundreds of bunches of hay every day. In addition to the cost of the mule driver, the daily expenses are more than 20 taels, which is a considerable burden.

In addition to mule drivers and horses and mules, the higher cost is the tigers in front of you.

Zhang Han, who is around 20 years old, doesn't want those who are in their thirties, although their energy and health are still in their prime, rolling on the street for more than ten or twenty years is equivalent to returning to the old fried dough sticks countless times. No matter how much money or energy you have, they cannot be well trained. As for the people in front of you, although they are still very young, they are mostly full of evil spirits and hostility on their faces, and they have a lot of bad habits.

Zhang Han didn't feel that there was a big challenge... His previous life was originally on the verge of black and white, and almost everyone around him had such virtues in front of him.

After a period of development, he will absorb more people, and then he will not focus on these tigers. But now, when fighting in the territory, these people are much more useful than kind people.

Whenever Liang Xing said someone, he would come over to bow to Zhang Han. There were casual attitudes, some respectful ones, and some looked indifferent. However, when registering, Zhang Han personally gave these people a small ingot of silver and said, "This is the New Year's reward this year, do it well." Then every Lahu showed respect on his face, and bowed lower when he bent down.

"I won't arrange for everyone to go out before the New Year," Zhang Han looked at everyone and shouted: "I know you are all good fighters. There are many fights here. Let's explain this to you first. There is another layer. If you take my money here, you have to follow my instructions. If you can't stand it, you can return it to me while the money has not yet heated up, and then get out of here."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and felt that the young master was very straightforward and cheerful. He was easy to accept his words like this, and of course no one would really give back the money.

After Zhang Han finished speaking, he said to Liang Xing: "The days before the New Year, everyone practiced horse riding. I know that most of you can do horse riding, but there are many people going out to the frontier in the future. Your riding skills are far worse than those of the Tartars. You have to practice better."

Liang Xing was shocked and said, "Shaodong means to fight the Tartars?"

"We are not officers and soldiers, and fighting the Tartars is not profitable. But when we go out to do business in the future, it is inevitable that Tartars will come to rob me. You can't ask others to rob me of my money and goods in vain."

Speaking of this, Liang Xing and others were ready to go, and everyone said, "There is no reason. Who dares to steal us? We have always been the only one who can steal other people's share."

After all, the border areas are different from the mainland. These tigers in front of us were called Liangjiazi in the Han Dynasty. They were recruited as knights during the war, and they used bows to go out of the frontier and chased the north. These guys in front of us were not good people, and they had the ability to ride horses and shoot archers, but their levels were different. If they were in the mainland, it would be impossible to find so many people at once.

Zhang Han looked at the yard. There were about twenty people in the current yard, but the Lahus were almost fifty. Each person had two taels of silver per month. When he went out, he added one or two months of money, which was three taels. This silver was higher than the monthly money of the cavalry's two taels of rice. These Lahus could not make half of the money in a year, so they were not afraid of these guys being disobedient in a short period of time.

...

"The villain has met Shaodong."

Mule and horse manure were everywhere in the mule and horse manure. When a group of people saw Zhang Han, they knelt down, not caring about the dirt at all.

Five men and five women, and there were about a dozen dirty children. The adults begged, and the children also knelt down, looking at Zhang Han without blinking. The children's faces were so dirty that they could not see the color of their skin. Only their eyes were as clear as a stream, clear and innocent.

These are five craftsmen brought by Zhang Han from the Qing Military Hall. There are fifty or sixty craftsmen in the fort. More than half of them escaped, and there are still more than ten left. They are usually responsible for repairing armor and weapons, but most of them do not really ask them to do such things. Most of them are forced to do some folk work, and the money they earn is divided by officials who manage craftsmen. They usually give three buckets of miscellaneous grains every month, and most of them are mixed with stones and sand. They are cleaned up and only left

The next half may not be divided into half. These craftsmen are the lowest-level people in Xinpingbao. In fact, they are the same everywhere. Farmers are the bottom-level people. Military households are not as good as farmers, and craftsmen are not as good as military households. You can imagine how low the status of craftsmen is. The Ming Dynasty used these man-made houses, artillery and weapons, repair armor and helmets, and the officials embezzled materials. You can also imagine what the quality of weapons provided to the army is.

These craftsmen rented them, and Zhang Han gave the Qing Military Office a monthly silver ounce, so he would use them.

Zhang Han stepped forward and helped several men up one by one. He didn't remember the names of these people clearly, but his face was still full of smiles and said with a kind look: "The busiest thing here every day is to build horseshoes, repair saddles, etc. When you are busy for a while, you will create some weapons such as long swords, waists and knives. I need people to go out to escort the car."

Everyone was about to kneel down and agree. Zhang Han stopped them again. When everyone stood up, he smiled and said, "Each man has two kilograms of grain per day, each woman and child has one kilogram of grain per month, and each family has one kilogram of silver. If you have any work, you will be responsible for the monthly reward and the New Year reward. You will be responsible for these details. If you have any questions, you can find me. Just do things here with peace of mind and don't worry about being hungry anymore."

Zhang Han's conditions were like this for these craftsmen, from hell to heaven in an instant. Several men were still holding their hands, but their eyes were red, the women were already crying, and everyone knelt down and kowtowed, their gratitude was beyond words.

There are hundreds of mules and horses, and there are many horseshoes used. Zhang Han will buy a large number of mules and horses in the future to set up branches. It will definitely not be enough to find these craftsmen at that time, and they also have to build weapons. Zhang Han invested this amount of money and was not even worth a fortune in market. It is still worth it.

"I have something to see if you can build it."

Before the craftsmen left, Zhang Han stopped a goatee and whispered to the order.

After Liang Hong told the man to hang a guise, he began to place wooden boards on both sides of the door.

People in other places may not recognize a few words. In places like Xinpingbao, the guys running around the streets can also recognize a few words.

As soon as the billboard came out, many people gathered around. Some shopkeepers of some shopkeepers were inconvenient to come, so they sent the guys to come to see them, and then quickly went back to tell their shopkeepers that they knew.

Throughout the morning, people came and went in front of Yusheng Store, as lively as the bustling city.
