"Master, what do you think we are here for?" the servant asked Zhou Fu for unknown reasons while making the bed for Zhou Fu.
Zhou Fu was eating peanuts next to him, rubbed the red skin outside, took a breath, and took the skin to the ground, he threw the peanuts into his mouth, chewed and said, "What do you know, if you know, come here. Why, this master should be yours."
The servant made the bed and took out the luggage that Zhou Fu brought to pack. Zhou Fu did not have much luggage with him, only some clothes. He sold his property and even sold his old house with the servants. , He also entrusted his old parents, his wife and children to his younger brother. He almost put everything down to gamble, leaving only one servant who served him the longest.
The servant couldn't guess what Zhou Fu was thinking, and he didn't say much. He put the clothes in the cabinet, took out the tea leaves, and made tea for Zhou Fu.
"What do you think of Taizhou?" Zhou Fu asked the servant.
The servant said: "Master, we have come all the way, only the people of Taizhou have the best life."
The servants are somewhat envious.
When he saw the life of the people in Taizhou, he hoped that he could also live in Taizhou.
The lively scene of the street was imprinted in his mind, and he could not get rid of it no matter what.
Zhou Fu smiled and said, "When I sold my property, did you think I was crazy too?"
The servant did not speak, what could he say? You are the master, the property is yours, and you can dispose of it as you like.
Zhou Fu looked out the window and said: "Staying in Huizhou, that is, killing a pig with a dull knife, it seems useless, and in the end I have to die. I am standing firm in Taizhou now, and when something happens, I can still pick up my family. come over."
The servant looked at Zhou Fu with a moved face.
Zhou Fu smiled: "Why are you looking at me like this? If you hadn't married and had children, I would have sold you too."
The emotion on the servant's face disappeared instantly.
All of his former friends were sold. In this world, if he could be sold to a wealthy family and continue to be a servant, even if he washed the toilet and drained the swill, it would be better than living on the streets.
But what kind of big households are there in Huizhou now
The weaker ones have already fled with their families, and the stronger ones, let alone importing them, are even more difficult to protect themselves.
The court wants to be filial, the bandits want to steal money, they live hard, and the people below will naturally suffer even more.
The gentlemen still have food to eat, and the people below should be grateful if they don't starve to death.
In order to defect to the new master, Zhou Fu kept his attitude at the lowest level. Lin Yuan even felt that this person was not here to show his loyalty in business. Zhou Fu basically appeared by Lin Yuan's side whenever he had the chance.
Not only did he have to brush his face to be familiar, he also had to be a cow and a horse for Lin Yuan. When Lin Yuan went back to the stable to see the horses, he found that the people who had taken care of the stable did not know where to go, but Zhou Fu was washing the horses in the stable. very skilled.
At a glance, it was obvious that he had been in this stable for a long time.
Lin Yuan sighed: "Master Zhou, why is this so hard?"
Zhou Fu just pretended to have just discovered Lin Yuan. He turned his head and smiled at Lin Yuan. The smile was very flattering.
Lin Yuan looked at Zhou Fu strangely.
Zhou Fu said: "I see that they are called that."
He felt that it seemed close to him. Didn't he see that it was all the people who were brought by Lin Yuan
Sure enough, he will still be separated, and he is naturally a very close person.
Become Lin Yuan's "own person".
Lin Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said to Zhou Fu, "Master Zhou, you just stay here and there are a lot of people here. You robbed them of their jobs. What are they doing? I don't support idlers here."
Zhou Fu: "Hey! I forgot about this! Look at my brain, I'm too old to remember things clearly."
Lin Yuan waved his hand and said, "If you are really busy, there is something I need to call you to."
Zhou Fu hurriedly said: "You ordered, you ordered."
Lin Yuan said, "Nowadays, there are some craftsmen in the city."
Zhou Fu looked up at Lin Yuan.
Zhou Fu was a businessman, so naturally he would not look down on craftsmen. Although the status of businessmen in the Yuan Dynasty was much higher than before, the stratification of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, in fact, the status of the craftsman is the lowest.
But in troubled times, all living beings are equal, and everyone is miserable, so there is no way to tell who goes up and who goes down.
Lin Yuan said: "Whether it is forging iron, woodworking, or making firecrackers, as long as I have the ability in my hand, I will take it."
Zhou Fu understood: "Master, leave it to me."
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I will give you a small group of people, all in disguise, and I will not put you in danger."
Zhou Fu knelt down to Lin Yuan and gave a big gift: "I will never fail the owner's entrustment."
Lin Yuan received this gift, and he knew in his heart that if he did not accept it, Zhou Fu would not feel at ease.
Zhou Fu was overjoyed when he realized that he had called Lin Yuan Dongjia this time, and his heart blossomed. His purpose was not only to stay in Taizhou, but also to take root and become Lin Yuan's right-hand man. Who else is there in this world? More information than a businessman digs? Is the road wider than that of a businessman
After he discovered that there were no big businessmen around Lin Yuan, he decided to show his face beside Lin Yuan no matter what.
There was really no way, and he didn't dare to bribe the people around Lin Yuan, so he arrived at the stable to take care of the little red horse that Lin Yuan often rode.
Lin Yuan named the horse, Hongxia. Although the name was a bit dirty, but in his current position, no matter how dirty he is, no one will say him. This is a mare, facing Lin Yuan. He was very docile in temperament when he was young, but not so good when facing others, and he was always ready for a posthumous child at any time.
Zhou Fu also gave up a lot of thought in order to serve this aunt.
Recently, he almost lived in the stable, and Hongxia slowly agreed to let him get close and scrub herself.
Lin Yuan didn't expect Zhou Fu to use this method. In the emotion of crying and laughing, he understood why Zhou Fu did it.
Some people just want to live, but some people want to make a career.
Men all have the desire to be successful. Since they are in business, it is definitely impossible to become an official again. The only way to change their situation is to invest successfully. Maybe if the investment is successful, there will be a bright future waiting ahead.
It's not just Zhou Fu, there are quite a few people who have come close to him recently.
Although Xie Zichang was not as desperate as Zhou Fu, he sold his old house and came to Taizhou, but he also had his own way, that is, as soon as he found a house in Taizhou, he immediately let everyone take over his family.
Parents, brothers, wives and children, none of them stayed outside.
This is to take his family as hostages, so that Lin Yuan can rest assured and express his absolute loyalty.
Lin Yuan asked Zhou Fu to go out, and naturally he also called Xie Zichang and they also went to different places to search for different talents.
Talent is valuable and not valuable.
For example, in the prosperous times, the society will develop rapidly, and talents are also valuable - the craftsmen are not included in it, and China has been up and down for 5,000 years. It's not even a drop in the bucket. Everyone knows the four great inventions, but these four inventors are also famous for Cai Lun.
In troubled times, craftsmen are even less valuable, blacksmiths may be better, but otherwise, no one really cares.
It is not difficult to get the craftsmen to follow them, but the difficulty is how to find the craftsmen among the countless disaster victims.
Lin Yuan threw this problem directly to Zhou Fu and Xie Zichang.
At that time, whoever of them brings back more and more useful people will naturally know who should be better.
Zhou Fu went on the road the next day. He left his servants with nothing. He was surrounded by people who were responsible for protecting him. There were ten soldiers in a squad. Hiding in the car, disguised as a businessman, he thought he was the only one who got this task, but after walking for a while, he saw Xie Zichang's team.
Compared with him, Xie Zichang also brought two accompanying servants in addition to the people arranged by Lin Yuan. The convoy had three carriages with food and grass for cover.
When Zhou Fu saw it, his heart tightened. He thought he was the first to kneel, but he didn't expect someone to be earlier than him.
"Where is Brother Xie going?" Zhou Fuxing shouted as he approached Xie Zichang's motorcade.
Xie Zichang sat in the carriage, drinking tea, and smiled leisurely at Zhou Fu: "The owner looks down on me and tells me to go to Chongming and Chuzhou. Where is Brother Zhou going?"
Zhou Fu smiled and said, "Haining and Sizhou."
Xie Zichang nodded: "It seems that everyone has two places."
Zhou Fu asked: "Zhou knows that Brother Xie is very famous in Junzhou. He is a well-known volunteer businessman. Why did he come to Taizhou? But what happened to Junzhou?"
Xie Zichang's expression remained unchanged, with a smile on his face: "Naturally, it is the young hero of the owner, and Xie Mou admires it, and this is how he wants to work hard."
Zhou Fu also laughed, thinking to himself: This is no longer in Taizhou City, and he is still flattering. Thinking about it, this person is really thick-skinned.
When he has established a firm position beside the owner, he will naturally not ask this person to approach the owner again.
The two walked together with their own thoughts, with smiles on their faces, and it was estimated that they were scolding each other in their hearts, wishing that the other party would disappear in front of their eyes.
Just to make a good appearance on the face.
On the other hand, the soldiers of the two classes had a good conversation. They were all instructed before they left, so they talked about daily life and had nothing to do with training.
A few days later, Lin Yuan found out that most of the merchants who came had been sent out, and a small number of those who really came to do business would naturally not come to do business, so he was relieved a lot.
The usefulness of businessmen is not small. They travel from south to north, they are proficient in news, and they are good at dealing with people. In fact, they are very similar to the scouts who inquire about news, but they can use more means than scouts and are more tactful.
Lin Yuan thought about the most impressive businessmen.
Zhou Fu and Xie Zichang may be of great use in the future.
