Chapter Four: Eighth Years to Zhengzheng(2/2)

Teach them to study books like The Analects of Confucius.

"Brother Su, your recent actions have been a bit big!

I heard that you have started hiring teachers to teach your employees how to read."

"Haha, there's no way!

We really don’t have enough manpower, so we have to go through the trouble of cultivating them ourselves.”

"Well! It is necessary to train employees.

But there is no need to teach them how to read, I feel it is a waste of time."

"Haha, let's not talk about this for now.

Last time I heard Brother Chen mention that Li Shanchang from Dingyuan is going to pass through Chuzhou?" It was impossible for him to tell Chen Boda his plan now, so he deliberately changed the subject.

"Yes! Li Shanchang is going to Jiqing in a few days, and will happen to pass by our Chuzhou City.

I can introduce you to each other then."

"Haha, this is great!

On the way from Jiaozhou to Chuzhou, I always heard that Li Shanchang was a great sage, so I have been admiring him for a long time."

In fact, Suning really wants to recruit Li Shanchang now. Anyway, the Yuan Dynasty does not pay attention to literati and has not set up imperial examinations for many years. Regarding Suning's recruitment, I believe Li Shanchang will definitely consider it carefully.

But what Suning is worried about is that now that he has not raised the anti-Yuan banner, many secret things cannot escape the eyes of people like Li Shanchang. If Li Shanchang goes to report him, then he will be ready to cry.

Therefore, Suning will not take risks easily.

...

In the eighth year of Zhengzheng, Liu Yifei gave birth to Suning's first son, which surprised Suning and Liu Yifei. After nearly two years of hard work, they finally had a close relative in the world.

"Suning, you haven't named our son yet!"

"Ah? Look at my brain, I forget it when I get busy!"

"Haha, it's not too late to get up now!"

"Well! Sissi, why don't we name our son Su Ming? All future children will be named with a day character next to it."

"Ah? Su Ming? That's a great name!"

After two years of development, Longmen Escort Bureau has spread its footprints to various cities around Jiqing. There are branches of Longmen Escort Bureau in cities such as Dingyuan, Haozhou, Hexian, Yangzhou, and Hangzhou.

Due to the rapid expansion of the Longmen Escort Bureau, Suning now has a team of nearly 2,000 people. According to the organization of later generations of armies, three squads form a platoon, and three to four platoons form a company, and the number of people in a company is about one.

About one hundred and twenty people were stationed in companies in each branch of the Longmen Escort Bureau.

In order to facilitate management, Suning also set up four battalions, one of which was Shuiying, which was specifically responsible for the ships of the Longmen Escort Bureau. Shuiying now has two large ships worth 3,000 yuan and six small boats worth 1,000 yuan.

In the past two years, Suning recruited Chang Yuchun, who was a bandit, and Yu Tingyu and his son. At this time, Yu Tingyu and his son had not yet followed Han Shantong in rebellion, so they took advantage of the chicken thief Suning.

Yu Tingyu was appointed as the commander of the water battalion, directly responsible for the water transportation from Chuzhou City to Jiqing Road, while his son Yu Tonghai became the company commander of the first battalion. Suning personally led the first battalion and was responsible for the Longmen Escort Bureau near Chuzhou and Jiqing.

After the initial training, Chang Yuchun gradually adapted to the behavior of the Longmen Escort Bureau, and lost the rude atmosphere before. Then he was appointed as the commander of the third battalion of the Longmen Escort Bureau, and was usually in charge of the area from Haozhou to Dingyuan.

business.

Zhu Chongba was the one that Suning struggled with the most. Although Suning had been guarding against him and never asked him to return to Haozhou to recruit troops because he was worried that he would be difficult to control due to his full wingspan, he grew up too fast and was too capable. In the end, Suning accepted his fate.

He is the battalion commander of the second battalion of the Longmen Escort Bureau and is responsible for the business in Yangzhou.

Suning's Longmen Escort Bureau is developing rapidly. Fortunately, the company's employees and institutional names are very different from Yuan Mo's perception, which makes others always feel confused, so it did not attract official attention.

The most important thing is that Suning has the idea of ​​​​equal rain and dew, and usually tries to maintain the relationship with the dignitaries in Chuzhou City and Jiqing Road, so that these people gradually get lost under their own "sugar-coated bullets".

Such a large number of escort employees certainly require huge weapons and leather armor. Because Suning's "golden bullet" offensive was fierce, it was easy to obtain a large number of "scrap weapons" from Chuzhou's treasury.

Even Chen Boda was shocked when he saw the development of Suning Longmen Escort Agency. Chen Boda was also a knowledgeable person and could easily detect Suning's ambitions.

However, the current situation was still firmly in the hands of the court. For the sake of his family, Chen Boda did not confess to Suning immediately. Instead, he pretended to be confused and watched the changes in the current situation, quietly watching the development of the situation.

Under Chen Boda's introduction, Suning and Li Shanchang got acquainted, but the relationship was just as friends, and Suning did not invite Li Shanchang to join the Longmen Escort Agency.

This made Chen Boda a little surprised, because in his impression, Suning should be the kind of person who is eager for talents, and he should have invited Li Shanchang immediately.

As for Suning not inviting Li Shanchang now, it may only be because Suning does not trust him. This also confirmed Chen Boda's initial judgment that Suning's ambition is definitely not small.

...

After a busy day, Suning had just taken a shower when she saw Liu Yifei feeding her son and buying water. She couldn't help laughing, "Sissi, our son has such a good appetite!"

"Haha, of course my son has an appetite!"

"My boss, there is a Shandong man who calls himself Mao Gui and wants to see him." Wu San, who was now the housekeeper of the Su Mansion, stood outside the door and reported to Suning.

"Oh? Mao Gui? Come to the living room quickly!"

"Yes! Boss!"

"Suning, is this Maogui very powerful?" After the housekeeper Wu San left, Liu Yifei looked at Suning curiously.

"Well! From the original time and space, Liu Futong will be the general in the future, but I don't know how he came to us."

"Ah? Do you think it is possible that Liu Futong has started to rebel now, and then sent this Maogui to test us?"

"Well! It's hard to say this.

Let me go to the living room to check the situation first!"

When Suning came to the living room, she saw a burly man sitting there neatly. Seeing Suning's appearance, he immediately stood up excitedly.

"Hello, Mr. Su! I'm Maogui!"

"Oh? Maogui?

I heard that you are also from Shandong?"

"Yes! Mr. Su and I are fellow villagers." Mao Gui showed a dark smile at this time.

"Haha, I heard that there is a good man from Yingzhou named Liu Futong. I wonder if Brother Mao knows him?"

"Liu Futong? I don't know him!

I have never been to Yingzhou." Mao Gui was confused about Suning's question.

"Oh! I wonder why Brother Mao came to visit this time?" Suning couldn't help being pleasantly surprised after hearing Mao Gui's answer.

"Mr. Su, we in Shandong have been experiencing constant disasters in the past two years, and many people really cannot survive.

Some time ago we heard that there is a hero from Shandong in Chuzhou City, and hereby he and his brothers and their families come to join you.

I hope Mr. Su can take in our brothers."

"Haha, Brother Mao Gui seems to be a man of good temper. I am happy to accept a hero like Brother Mao Gui."

"Thank you Mr. Su!"

"Brother Mao Gui, don't be happy yet. Our Longmen Escort Agency is different from other places. We are very particular about rules. Therefore, I have to ask you brothers to undergo training first."

"Mr. Su, don't worry! We brothers all know the truth!"

"Haha, that's good! I'll ask Butler Wu to take you to dinner later, and then I'll settle down with the family."

“Thank you, boss!”

Watching Mao Gui leave, Suning felt excited. He was a real general. If he could accept the rules of the Longmen Escort Bureau, he would definitely be Suning's right-hand man. Then he wouldn't need to worry too much about Zhu Chongba.

"Eating the Lord".

There were really many famous generals at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Suning was drooling just thinking about it. It would be a pity if a super general like Xu Da did not subdue him, so when his power grew, Suning would arrange for Zhu Chongba

Returning to Haozhou to recruit troops.
