Chapter 08: Chapter VIII Security Team
"I bought a thousand foreign guns from foreigners, so I have to recruit a thousand people. As long as they meet the selection conditions I set, they will be members of the security team."
"First of all, those who can read are directly considered qualified. Then there is a stone mound here, which weighs about fifty kilograms. Whoever can hold it and run around will be qualified. Of course, I know that many of you are not full.
The meal is coming, so I have prepared enough rice and pickles here. After eating, I will rest for a while, but don’t blame me for not reminding you, if I am too full to hold the stone, I will not let go. "
"As long as they pass the selection and join the security team, each person will receive a settlement allowance of five yuan and two yuan a month."
Of course, Jiang Lin selected the first batch of security team members from within his own family, so he specially prepared enough millet to feed thousands of people. This was because most of the Jiang family members were still in the stage of barely keeping their stomachs full, or even
Some people starve to death.
Most people only eat once a day, and they all came here hungry this early in the morning. Without food, even a strong man wouldn't be able to lift this stone pillar.
When everyone heard that not only could they eat, but they could also get money, they were overjoyed. They all saluted Jiang Lin one by one. Of course, they were all in a mess, but Jiang Lin didn't care.
Next, Jiang Chengdong led Jiang Chengjin and Chengshan to maintain order, so that everyone who came to participate had a good meal.
After resting for half an hour, the selection began. Everyone was a farmer. Although they all looked thin, they had a lot of strength. Soon, a thousand people would be enough. It looked like there were still more people.
Thousands of people did not participate, and Jiang Lin had no choice. In a short period of time, this was all he could do.
"Okay, we have enough personnel. Let's go back. Don't worry, this is just the first batch. My security team will be expanded in the future, and there will be more people. Don't be afraid that you won't have a chance. Maybe I will still be dissatisfied with it by then.
There are few people."
At first, everyone was very disappointed, but after hearing Jiang Lin's words, hope rose again. Yes, Brother Lin is so capable and he must keep his word.
But no one left, because the important part came next, the distribution of money.
Jiang Lin did not let anyone else take his place, because this was the best opportunity to create a reputation for himself. People would always remember those who gave him money and treated him well.
After asking Xiaosan'er to lead someone to carry boxes of oceans over, he then opened all the lids.
A total of 10,000 yuan was placed in front of everyone, making everyone gasp. They stared at the box and Jiang Lin with red eyes. Jiang Lin was not afraid. This was the effect he wanted.
"Okay, bring me the registration book."
Xiao San'er quickly handed over the registration book that Jiang Lin brought back specially. As long as he was given one amount of money, he would register one copy, which would also serve as one of the basis for joining the security team.
Looking at the tribesmen lined up, Jiang Lin was somewhat satisfied.
"Okay, first one."
"What's your name?"
"Brother Lin, my name is Jiang Lihua."
"What's your name, Brother Lin? You have to call him the group leader." Xiao San'er reminded him after kicking the blind guy.
Jiang Lin didn't stop him because this was a necessary rule.
"Yes, yes, Lin... no, leader."
Jiang Lin looked at the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and asked with some confusion: "Why is a grown man called Lihua?"
Before Jiang Lihua could speak, Xiao San'er had already smiled and replied: "Captain, it's like this. When Brother Lihua was born, his mother happened to be eating pear cakes, and then his father couldn't think of a good name, so he just called him
Pear blossom."
After saying that, he covered his mouth and smiled.
Jiang Lihua nodded quickly and said: "Yes, regiment...leader."
"Okay, first one, Jiang Lihua."
"Xiaosan'er, seven oceans."
"Yes, leader."
Xiao San'er counted seven oceans from the box and handed it to Jiang Lihua's hand.
"Buzz." A total of seven oceans were placed in Jiang Lihua's hand, and he stared blankly at the oceans in his hands.
He asked with some confusion: "Captain, isn't it five yuan?"
Jiang Lin laughed: "We agreed on five yuan as settlement allowance, and the remaining two yuan are what you deserve this month, and they will be paid to you in advance."
Jiang Lihua held Dayang in her hands and immediately knelt down to Jiang Lin.
"Thank you, leader, thank you, leader. From now on, Lihua's life belongs to the leader."
Seeing Jiang Lihua showing his true feelings, Jiang Lin also felt a little emotional and quickly pulled him up.
"Okay, go home quickly and have a look. I'll report on time tomorrow. I have to be there by now. Did you hear me?"
"Yes, leader."
The people behind her couldn't wait to see Jiang Lihua get a total of seven yuan, and the tribesmen not far away who were not selected were even more enthused.
...
Jiang Lin was making a big fuss here, and the clan leader discussed with other clan elders: "Brother Lin is really good, I think so, I want to retreat anyway, I might as well retreat now, and then
Give up your position to Brother Lin, what do you guys think?"
When the clan elders heard this, they thought about it for a while, but immediately made up their minds.
"Patriarch, we listen to you. I also think Brother Lin is good. I heard Cheng Dong say that Brother Lin has more ideas. He will definitely lead our Jiang family better in the future."
"Okay, Cheng Dong and I have also said that he has no objection. In this case, it is better to just choose a day. When Brother Lin finishes his work, then we will announce this matter."
For a big family like the Jiang family, it is very necessary to choose a qualified patriarch. The person who was appointed was Jiang Chengdong. Although Jiang Chengdong has some abilities, he seems to be inferior compared to Jiang Lin.
So last night when Jiang Chengdong came back and told Jiang Yuehai about Jiang Lin's decision, Jiang Yuehai raised the matter, but Jiang Chengdong didn't resist at all. He knew his abilities very well.
In these troubled times, it was difficult for him to protect the Jiang family, let alone make the Jiang family stronger. However, he saw hope in Jiang Lin, and he became the first person to support Jiang Lin.
Of course Jiang Lin didn't know this. He was frowning and looking at a place not far away. There, a boy of four or five years old was staring at the place where everyone was eating. He kept swallowing and even grabbed the branches next to him.
He started chewing it.
He quickly stood up and ran over.
Everyone saw Jiang Lin's actions, and then they also saw the child.
"Wait, don't eat the leaves, uncle will give you food to eat." Jiang Lin stopped the child's movement, then took him to the place with millet and gave him a bowl.
The child swallowed hard, and then said in a whimpering voice: "Uncle, can I take it back to my mother to eat?"
Jiang Lin understood immediately that this was the reason why his mother had no food to eat.
He frowned. After all, the Jiang family was a big family, so how could something like this still happen? Of course, in the era of the Republic of China, such situations were very common, but it happened to the Jiang family, which was still a bit difficult for Jiang Lin to accept.
Xiaosan'er ran to his side and explained: "Brother Lin, this Mingu is from Jiang Chang's family. He died early when he was growing up, leaving them orphaned and widowed. As a result, his mother was not worried and gave birth to a child.
A serious illness suddenly made the family unable to deal with the problem, and the clan subsidized some rice grains every month.
But her health has never been good, and there are many people in the clan but little money. There are many examples like Changjia. She can't just take care of his family, and it has become like this. In fact, Min Gu is responsible for a bowl of rice every day in the clan.
Those who are immortal must have grown taller and are more gluttonous."
