Chapter 1055: Picking up someone again
The old man stayed, planning to wait until Zhou Guo left before leaving.
Zhou Guo asked, "Master, why don't you come with me to the General's Mansion to take a look? Let me tell you, the General's Mansion is huge!"
The old man shook his head, "I won't go. The owner hasn't come back yet, how can you go in? Don't let people chase you out. You are a well-known figure in Yunzhou now. If you are chased out, can you still walk around in Yunzhou?"
Zhou Guo said: "Then let's go next time. Actually, I just want to take you outside to have a look."
"You're not going there, just to see how big the general's mansion is. Why go there? Who wouldn't know you there? If you were seen by someone, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?"
"What do you mean by laughable? Then I'll go in and take a look. I have a yard in the general's mansion."
The old man refused to go no matter what.
If she doesn't want to go, then she doesn't have to go. Zhou Guo didn't force her. She just said it casually. If she really asked her to move in by herself, she would have concerns.
"In a few days, another group of people will come to the border. It is estimated that there are two thousand people. Will you come with me to take a look? Last time, dozens of people came into the escort agency, and you haven't seen them yet."
The old man nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you to see, have you ever tried, can Baldy and his men defeat this group of people?"
Zhou Guo laughed, "I didn't tell you about the duel between the two groups, how did you know?"
"Do we need to guess? With Baldy's personality, can he let these people go?"
Zhou Guo chuckled and told the whole story of that day from beginning to end, "Laizitou is still good, he deserves this position."
If you can't tolerate others, you can only be demoted to deputy escort leader, and the chief escort leader will have to be replaced by someone else.
The old man nodded. "Although he has been a bit of a mess, at least he is loyal and righteous, and he dares to take responsibility. He is a great man. He is more suitable for this position than Qian Duo."
After the rice was planted in Song County, news came from the border that another group of remnant soldiers were about to leave.
Xu Sibei didn't come out with them this time.
But Zhou Guo still decided to go to the border to pick him up.
Seeing this, the old man wanted to go with them, and said, "I never thought that one day, those uncles in the military camp would come out to escort."
Zhou Guo said: "What's so strange about this? Not only do they come out to escort, they also become bandits."
Yes, Qian Duo and the others came down from the mountains.
A few days ago, Zhou Guo asked Erpang to arrange a batch of ox carts carrying night incense to the border. These ox carts will come out with the wounded soldiers, dragging horse manure on them.
When she and her men arrived at the border, this group of people had just emerged.
Behind them was a team of oxen carrying a cart full of horse manure.
The smell can be smelled from two miles away.
The old man looked at these ox carts full of horse manure and was surprised. "The Xu family army not only sent people but also ox carts?"
He took a quick look and counted them secretly. It was quite a lot. "You're going to make a fortune this time!"
We were originally short of cars, and now so many of them are coming for free. Doesn't this help relieve the urgent need?
Zhou Guo laughed, "What are you thinking? I just want it. If the military camp wants to send it, there must be cows in the camp. These are our own. They were transported to the military camp a few days ago to transport fertilizer."
The horses in the military camp are all war horses. Each one has a use and an owner. No one would use them to transport horse manure.
We can’t really let these people carry everything on their shoulders, can we?
Even if you carry it on your shoulders or by hand, you still need a basket. It is more convenient to use an oxcart. Anyway, these are usually used to transport night incense and ashes.
The old man suddenly realized, "I was wondering why the military camp was so generous and sent so many ox carts."
As expected, Xu Sibei is not here.
The two captains who escorted them out were accompanied by a personal soldier of Xu Xiaobei, whom she knew.
The captain bowed to her and said respectfully, "Sir, there are a total of 2,300 people here."
He took out a booklet from his pocket and said, "This is their list. It contains everything."
Zhou Guo took it and said, "General, will you come with us to Yunzhou?"
The captain shook his head and said, "I won't go. I will send them out and then rush back immediately. I will leave these people to you, young master."
Zhou Guo immediately sensed something, nodded, stopped asking questions, and looked at the bodyguard beside him.
The two thousand households retreated wisely.
Zhou Guo asked his personal soldier, "Brother, do you have anything to tell me?"
The personal soldier said, "The Major General said that you should take care of the arrangements for this batch of people. There are many people sent here this time, and it will probably take some time for them to leave the customs next time, so don't worry."
Zhou Guo frowned and asked in a low voice: "Is there another battle at the border?"
The personal soldier nodded imperceptibly and whispered, "But you don't have to worry. They are just small minions. The main army hasn't been dispatched yet. They can't make a difference. It will be over soon."
Zhou Guo was relieved and said, "If there is anything you need, please ask your elder brother to write to me and I will definitely help if I can."
The soldier nodded and took out a letter from his pocket and gave it to her. "This is what the young master asked me to bring to you."
Zhou Guo smiled, "I understand."
After sending them out of the checkpoints and checking the names of the people according to the booklet, and finding that nothing went wrong, the captain and his personal soldiers rode away in a hurry.
The only ones left were Zhou Guo and his group of more than 2,000 people who had followed them out of the border.
In addition to Zhou Guo's group, the group that came out of the military camp before also came together to pick up people this time. They have all joined the escort for several trips now. Although the distance is not far, after running a few times, their spirit and spirit are even more different.
Because they could no longer go to the battlefield, their depressed hearts began to come back to life little by little. They were no longer considered useless, and they could support themselves and others.
Before Zhou Guo came, he told them to encourage these brothers more. As long as they still have a life, these people are still useful and can support themselves. Maybe they can even get married in the future and live a good life with a wife and children.
Although they did not stay in the escort agency for a long time, they learned a lot of things. They knew that the monthly salary was not small, that if they did a good job, they would be rewarded on weekdays, and that at the end of the year, they could receive several months' salary.
The money earned in a year is what an ordinary family earns in five years. With such a monthly salary, there is no need to worry about not living a good life.
Those who had just come out were still a little discouraged.
Their eyes are like those of dead fish, without any light at all. They are useless, just thrown out of the military camp, and are useless people.
Moreover, he was thrown to the landlord. How could the landlord be a good person?
Maybe they can’t even get enough to eat after working all day, and they don’t know what is waiting for them ahead.
Many people have their own ideas in mind.
After listening to what these brothers said, although he was still a little skeptical, but looking at what they were wearing, the food they offered, the big pieces of meat, and the wine hanging from their waists, he began to believe them a little bit, and there was finally a light in his eyes.
Zhou Guo and the others sat aside and ate dry food. She watched these people gradually become more active and asked questions. She said, "With the first batch, the second batch will be much easier. With them as role models, it will be easier for the later ones to integrate into the escort agency."
