Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 386 Recruiting people
The news that Chen Yunzhe passed the examination and returned home quickly spread throughout Kuandian City.

Chen Yunzhe's classmates, neighbors, and people who were on good terms with the Chen family all came to congratulate him with generous gifts.

For a time, there was an endless stream of guests coming to the Chen family to congratulate them, and it was very lively.

Li reacted very quickly and immediately asked people to go shopping and prepare a banquet to entertain the guests.

At the same time, someone was sent to notify her cousins ​​from her mother's side, asking them to come to the county town for a gathering when they were free.

In the afternoon, He Qingzhu's parents, brother, and others also rushed to Kuandian City.

Naturally, they received Chen Yunhan's message, prepared gifts, and came to congratulate.

With relatives and friends gathered together, the Chen family was very lively, with laughter, clinking glasses, and a very lively atmosphere.

As the son-in-law of the Chen family and the most prestigious person at present, Qu Shaoyang has to help entertain guests and run around.

Of course, Qu Shaoyang also took the opportunity of entertaining guests to get to know a lot of people, especially some of Chen Yunzhe's classmates.

After all, not everyone can pass the examination to become a scholar at a young age like Chen Yunzhe. Many people cannot even pass the examination to become a student.

Qu Shaoyang is in urgent need of talents now, so he has to have more contact with these people, even if he can recruit one or two people.

Of course, Qu Shaoyang wasn't stupid enough to just ask people directly if they were willing to work under him. He wanted to get in touch with them first and then talk to Chen Yunzhe when he had time.

The banquet lasted from the afternoon to the evening. Many people drank too much and left drunk.

After all the guests had left, the mess had been cleaned up, and the He family had been settled in the west courtyard, Doctor Chen and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief and went back to rest.

He Qingzhu's parents rarely come to visit, so they have to stay for two more days.

It just so happened that Qu Shaoyang took the opportunity to talk to He Lisheng and He Honglin about the militia, and wanted to invite several brothers from the escort agency to help.

"Oh, that's a good thing.

It is great that Master Qu does not mind that my disciples are clumsy and is willing to give them a chance.

Don't worry, Master Qu. I will ask Zhengguo to lead a few people who are good at martial arts and can handle things to Maoer Mountain."

No matter how good the escort agency is, it can't be as good as working in the government office.

It is difficult to run a escort business nowadays. There are gangs of bandits everywhere, and they all use muskets.

Although the Changfeng Escort Agency also got some quick-firing rifles through Chen Yunhan, their financial resources were limited after all, and it was impossible for every escort to be equipped with a gun.

In the era of hot weapons, what matters is not hard skills, but who has more guns and whose guns are better.

If you are unlucky enough to encounter a gang that doesn't follow the rules and shoot at you, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, it will be useless.

He Lisheng was also thinking about what the future of the escort agency would be.

Since Qu Shaoyang took the initiative to ask the disciples of the escort agency to help train the local militia, He Lisheng was naturally happy to agree.

"Thank you very much, Uncle He. Don't worry, we are all family, I will definitely not treat you brothers unfairly."

Qu Shaoyang was very happy to see that He Lisheng agreed so readily, and immediately made a promise to He Lisheng.

Although we have the candidates to train the local militia, we are still short of people who can read and write and do their jobs.

Qu Shaoyang found another opportunity and chatted with Chen Yunzhe for a while.

After careful consideration, Chen Yunzhe recommended two people to Qu Shaoyang.

These two people are classmates of Chen Yunzhe. They had a good relationship with Chen Yunzhe when they were studying.

Qu Shaoyang thought it was a good idea, so he asked Chen Yunzhe to take him to visit the two people's homes with generous gifts. The two people came from ordinary families and failed the Tongsheng exam several times. The family could not afford to support them to continue their studies, so they wanted them to find a job to support the family.

Qu Shaoyang brought generous gifts to the door, gave the other party enough face, and invited him sincerely. Who could refuse?
The two men agreed on the spot and just said that they would make some preparations first and follow Qu Shaoyang when he set off back to Maoer Mountain.

Qu Shaoyang was very satisfied with the fruitful trip to Kuandian.

So he stayed in Kuandian for a few more days with his wife and children.

Chen Yunzhe ranked first in the college examination and according to regulations he had to go to Fengtian Prefecture to study.

Of course, this is different from the previous school. You don’t need to go to the school every day. You just need to go there every few days and complete the homework assigned by the teacher.

In the rest of the time, you can study at home, visit great scholars, or study articles with classmates.

Fengtian is quite far from Kuandian. If Chen Yunzhe goes there, Shen Lizhen will definitely follow him and take care of Chen Yunzhe's daily life.

The couple discussed it and decided that Chen Yunzhe would take his people to Fengtian first to buy a yard there. After everything was settled, he would come back to pick up Shen Lizhen.

As for Anton's side, don't deal with the house for the time being, just leave a few people to guard it.

Qu Shaoyang and his wife had lived in Kuandian for seven or eight days, but they had a lot of things to deal with at home and could not stay there any longer.

So Qu Shaoyang told his father-in-law and mother-in-law that he wanted to go back.

Doctor Chen and Mrs. Li, not yet satisfied with their grandson, kept trying to keep him.

Unable to keep them there any longer, the couple simply packed up their things and prepared to leave with Qu Shaoyang and the others.

They originally wanted to go back to Maoer Mountain in the early spring, but Shen Lizhen became pregnant and Chen Yunzhe was taking an exam, so they had to wait until now.

Shen Lizhen is now five months pregnant, the fetus is stable and in good health.

Chen Yunzhe has also finished the college entrance examination and just needs to wait for a while before moving to Fengtian.

There is nothing to worry about here. Seeing that the weather is getting hotter, the old couple plans to go back to Maoer Mountain to escape the summer heat and come back when it gets cooler.

It just so happened that Shen Lizhen was about to give birth at that time, so Li could just go and take care of her during the confinement period.

Chen Yunzhe and Chen Yunhan naturally couldn't object to where their parents were going, so they could only arrange for someone to escort them.

Just like that, on June 20th, Qu Shaoyang, his wife, children, entourage, father-in-law and mother-in-law, as well as Li Zongbin and Sun Huanzhang, who were recruited with the help of Chen Yunzhe, left Kuandian City and returned to Maoer Mountain.

On the way back, the group met a number of people wearing ragged clothes, carrying small planks and oars, and going up the river.

Qu Shaoyang specially invited a few woodcutters to dinner and asked them about their experience of launching rafts this year.

"It's a good thing that the outpost was blown up, it saves us half the time on the way.

Moreover, it is much safer, especially at the Yanwang Nose whistle point. Almost no raft accidents have occurred there this year.

To be honest, this general manager is really amazing. I don’t know how they managed to flatten those big rocks at the sentry post.”

Qu Shaoyang did not reveal his identity, and the other party did not know that the person opposite them was the General Manager of Mushui.

"But there is one bad thing, we arrived in Anton too early.

How many of us can keep the money? We arrived early, but the money in our hands was gone in a short time.

What time is it now? It's not even July yet, and the return to the mountain field hasn't started yet. I don't even know where to stay. "

One of them said this.
