Chapter 121 Servants and Household Soldiers

After hearing the words, Xun Cai thought about it carefully, and then said to Li Ming with a sudden realization: "The main thing is to be less popular. How can a family like ours lack strong women who cook, as well as some servant girls and servants? Nothing else. Said, Brother Ming wants to go south to be the county magistrate of Lingyang, how can he do it without some soldiers around him?"

After hearing Xun Cai's words, Li Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart.Traveling to the feudal era, is it really impossible to avoid such things as buying slaves or recruiting slaves?Well, since you have become a privileged class, then you can't avoid it, right?

"Although it's insignificant, Brother Ming is still a mighty man and Marquis of Guannei." Xun Cai explained very seriously, "Generally speaking, in a normal official family, unless it's really hard to get rid of the pot, there will always be two healthy women who cook. , a coachman, about five nurses, a housekeeper and some maidservants.

However, in our family’s situation, we don’t need singers and dancers yet, but we need one for the healthy woman who cooks, one for the housekeeper who helps to take care of the house, two or three for the housekeeper who does chores, and as for the maids, they only need one. Xiang and Xiaotao are fine, and my two personal servants will come over later, so it's enough for now! "

With Li Ming's foodie character, considering the price of ingredients, his little salary is not enough.Fortunately, he still has trade relations with Xin's Chamber of Commerce, and his income is much higher than his salary.Not to mention raising ten people, it would be easy to raise twenty times more.

"Then go and pick a few! I'm not very good at this, how about leaving it to Cai'er?" Li Ming looked at Xun Cai.Just like picking livestock, Li Ming still felt a little uncomfortable going to the human market to pick servants.

As for picking out a few peerless beauties from among the slaves, he didn't think about it at all.Those who can be mixed into the market all have the experience and foresight in selection. High-end goods must be sold separately at a high price, and there is absolutely no possibility of picking them up.

Xun Cai was not surprised when he heard the words, but immediately said to Li Ming seriously: "Your servant Cai'er can pick it, but my elder brother Ding Ming has to do it himself."

"Why do I need to choose it myself?" Li Ming asked suspiciously.

"The housekeeper is not just doing chores, the key is to protect the house, and even go out with brother Ming when needed. When Zhu Jun conquered Liang Long, he first went back to Kuaiji County to count the family servants, and based on this, he pulled up 5000 people On the battlefield, there is nothing more trustworthy than family soldiers! Only family soldiers can protect Brother Ming at all costs!" Xun Cai said very seriously.

After a pause, he continued to add: "The selection of every servant is very important, not for those with bad character, not for those with physical defects or not suitable for martial arts, not for those who are too old, and of course not for those who are too young.

The age of servants must be controlled at 15 years old or above, otherwise there is no way to form combat effectiveness.The same is true for one generation. If these family members get married and give birth to a second generation, they need to start from childhood.Almost all gate valves are like this. "

What is the difference between a private army and a private army?However, in this era that mainly relies on morale and the personal charm of generals, if the core officers are composed of servants, it can indeed reduce the speed of collapse and make deployment easier.

"Then according to Cai'er's idea, how many servants should I recruit?" Li Ming couldn't help asking.

"As Brother Ming, it would be safer to recruit 100 people!" Xun Cai thought for a while and said.

After discussing the details, Li Ming went directly to the barracks and found Dianjie and the others for help.They had already been mentally prepared for Li Ming's recruitment of servants.

Luoyang lacks everything now, and the most important thing is the refugees who fled here.But before going out, the old soldiers who had been questioned directly took up the places.These are all old soldiers under Li Ming's command. As the temporary team disbanded, some of them were disarmed and returned to the field, and some were assigned to other teams.

Knowing that Li Ming wanted to recruit servants, some people even gave up their status as team leaders and came to serve.You know, in the army, at least he is still a free man, but once he takes effect, it means that they will be Li Ming's private property.

"Why are you doing this? Some people are even team leaders, and there are many Shichang and Wuchang..." Li Ming was moved, but he couldn't help but feel worthless for them.

"We are all old subordinates, but we still don't know who you are? You will have meat to eat if you follow the general, and birds will fade out of your mouth if you follow the others!" The person who has become the leader of the team immediately stepped forward and said .

"Yes! Follow the adults and have meat to eat!" Everyone laughed and responded one after another.Eating meat is actually second, the key is that Li Ming is a good person, he will not treat them badly, nor will he look down on them.I went to the regular army as a soldier for a few days, and the way those people look over their heads is disgusting.It happened that the forces behind them were very powerful, and it was not easy to provoke them, but I was really upset in my heart.

"My lord, we can see it!" The team led continued, "In the regular army, we don't have a bright future at all. Only by following your lord can we continue to make achievements. No matter how bad it is, you won't treat us badly, will you, lord? "

"Yes, that's it!" Everyone couldn't help shouting.

"Thanks to everyone's love!" Li Ming was really moved when he heard the words, "Li swears to God that he will never treat you badly in this life..."

"My lord, stop talking, we believe in you!" Hearing this, everyone immediately knelt down and told Li Ming the whole oath without saying anything.

In the next two days, two or three hundred people came to inquire one after another. When they learned that Li Ming only recruited 300 people, they left with regret.Seeing this, Li Ming was a little soft-hearted, thinking that he had a lot of money, so it shouldn't be a problem to recruit more people, right?

Just now I told Xi Zhicai about this idea, but the latter immediately remonstrated: "There are too many people, it is a taboo..."

This made Li Ming wake up immediately. In the feudal era, he immediately expanded his private army. Even if it was a servant, the king would be unhappy if there were too many people.In particular, it is also very easy to give some villains an excuse to attack themselves.

In the evening, Xun Cai also came back with a few servants. Coincidentally, they happened to be a family, a couple in their 30s and two teenagers aged 12 and [-].The man is proficient in writing and ink, and the wife is also good at cooking. The two children are a little weaker, but they will have strength to raise them.In addition, it is a family, and getting along will be more harmonious.

"Brother Ming, this is Lao Li, this is Aunt Li, and the two younger ones are called Li Gou'er and Li Donkey. As for the names, you can get them after you get crowned." Xun Cai introduced to Li Ming. road.

"The villain has met the Patriarch!" The four of them also stepped forward to salute upon hearing this.

"Work hard, and of course I won't treat you badly!" Li Ming immediately put on airs and said something.

"Obey!" The four replied quickly, and at the same time couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. A master who can say such words is not difficult to get along with.
