Cao Fei felt that this plan would work, so he waved his hand and shouted,""Yun geer, come over, I have something to tell you.”
"I have something for you to do. If you can do it well, I can agree to a small request of yours.”
Yun Geer had a good relationship with the martial arts university. Now that he was helping out in the martial arts university's shop, he received a stable salary every month. Compared to the days when he sold pears on the street every day, he was much more stable.
Naturally, he was full of respect for Cao Fei, who had paid for the martial arts university's shop.
When he heard that Cao Fei needed his help, his face was filled with joy. He immediately agreed," Brother Cao San, if you need anything, just tell me. There is no one in Yanggu County that I don't know, and there is no road that I don't know."”
Cao Fei introduced Zhang Qing from Happy Forest and Zhou Zunfeng from the county government to him. He also instructed him to look for help if there was any trouble at the martial arts university.
Seeing that he did not make any requests, Cao Fei found him even more pleasing to the eye. He wanted to help him, so he said,"You know my Third Brother Cao's character. Since you're willing to help, you're one of us. If you have any difficulties, feel free to tell me.”
"Brother Yun, do you believe your Third Brother Cao?”
"Of course I believe it! "It's just that my father…my father is seriously ill and has been bedridden recently. The family doesn't have the money to buy medicine. I see that the martial arts university shop has just opened, so it's not very rich…"
Yun Ge 'er saw that Cao Fei was being honest and could not help but tell him about his father's illness.
He did not expect Cao Fei to help.
His father's health was not good to begin with. He fell sick every few days and did not have the money to buy medicine. Every time, he would resist desperately. He was almost a medicine jar that ate money. He did not know how long he could last.
"Brother Cao San, this money…I can't afford it.”
Cao Fei had no intention of asking him to return the money.
He had been so busy recently that he had forgotten that Yun Geer's father had died of illness in the original novel. He was blaming himself for his carelessness.
Cao Fei gave him a few more words of encouragement before leaving.
They were to set off at dawn the next day. Cao Fei thought of the dozen or so bailiffs that the magistrate had promised him and still felt that it was not enough insurance. After a few turns, he arrived at the horse carriage shop on the west side of Yanggu County.
The people who made a living in the carriage and carriage shops were all poor men with big waists who worked hard.
Every day, he would drag a carrying pole bare-chested and sit under the shade of a tree. He would hold a bowl of green tea and drink a few dry buns for a day.
Cao Fei's purpose for coming here was naturally to hire people.
Although the yamen had mentioned more than a dozen bailiffs, the road was long. Who knew what would happen along the way?
If these coolies followed along the way, picking, resisting, pushing, or pulling, the bailiffs would be able to preserve their strength and have a certain amount of combat power when there was a crisis.
In addition, having more people could also boost their courage.
Under the lead of a steward of the carriage shop, Cao Fei selected a dozen men and hired three two-wheeled wooden carts to bring them all to the county government courtyard.
At this moment, the courtyard was also exceptionally lively.
When the bailiffs heard that they were in charge of food and accommodation, they also received a lot of subsidies every day. They were very enthusiastic about signing up. They lined up in two rows and let Li Quan and the advisor choose.
Cao Fei took a quick glance and saw that the people who signed up were all single men. He nodded secretly.
Unexpectedly, the county magistrate only agreed to a dozen or so places, but there were more than twenty people left on the scene. It was also troublesome to persuade those who were willing to go but were not selected.
When the advisor saw Cao Fei appear, he immediately stepped aside and said,"Since Governor Cao is here, these people will be under your control. This old man only cares about the goods, so we have a clear division of labor.”
When he saw the dozen or so half-naked burly men led in by Cao Fei and the three wheelbarrows, he was instantly overjoyed and could not help but praise,"Governor Cao thought it through. With these carriages, we can bring more supplies along the way.”
Cao Fei stood in the crowd and clapped his hands.""Brothers, the journey to the mountains is far, and the return trip is more than a thousand miles. It will take one to two months to return, and it will be difficult to eat in the wind and sleep in the open. The old master sympathizes with everyone's hard work and gives out subsidies. However, I feel that these subsidies are still not enough to offset everyone's hard work along the way, because there are risks along the way.”
" It's not peaceful in Shandong now. We can encounter strong people who rob and rob at any time. To put it seriously, our lives can be in danger at any time. We're all good men who are one in ten, and we didn't pop out from the cracks of rocks. Most of us have connections. Before making a decision, think of your parents and family.”
"I've thought it through. Those who still want to go, stand over here.”
As soon as Cao Fei finished speaking, many people changed their minds.
Previously, he had asked Li Quan to help organize the manpower. This fellow had only wandered around Yanggu County all his life, so he naturally did not know the dangers outside. He even thought that it was a free public holiday.
With Cao Du's protection.
Where could he find such a beautiful thing?
Cao Fei's words were the exact opposite of Li Quan's. Immediately, a few of the young bailiffs who had been shouting the loudest cowered. They lowered their heads and did not make a sound. They kept moving back.
There were still some poor families who were greedy for subsidies and stayed behind.
After a final count, there were only seven or eight people.
It was barely enough.
Cao Fei gathered the two groups of people together and told them about the departure time and matters to take note of the next day. Then, he handed them over to the Grand Master.
His mission was temporarily completed.
