"I am not a family child, and General Ye's mansion is not short of people, so I worked outside on my own." He Gui answered, "Later, my parents died of illness, and my indenture was in the grain store, so I had no connection with General Ye's mansion."

Gu Yue nodded. He looked at Gu Xu, waiting for him to do the protagonist aura screening: "What do you think, Xiao Xu?"

Gu Xu was also observing the man's demeanor and tone, and could not see any problem. He was not flattering or timid, and his reaction was quite fast.

He nodded.

Gu Xu was a little confused about the fact that Gu Yue had to make the final decision on everything. He usually treated him as an inexperienced kid, but he trusted him very much and would not make a decision until he nodded.

Gu Yue...purely for safety.

There are generally no risks around the protagonist outside of the original plot.

"This is the person." Gu Yue said.

He also picked two honest and hardworking people who could kill chickens and pigs, and tested their skill levels. The three of them then settled the money together.

The two men were selected from the group of illiterate coolies. They were twin brothers with simple and honest faces, the kind of people you could tell at a glance that they had no bad intentions. They knelt down to thank the emperor very sincerely, knocking their heads loudly, which scared Gu Yue, and he quickly helped them up.

He Gui was literate and could do accounting, so he was an intellectual, so his price was much higher. The manager quoted him two hundred taels. The brothers had good personalities, worked quickly, and were easy to sell, so the manager quoted them two hundred taels for the package.

Gu Yue bargained for a while, and finally the price was 250 taels of silver. He didn't bargain much, because the manager of Guozhou Prefecture was very knowledgeable, had handled countless businesses, and had a lot of bargaining skills. He couldn't handle it, so he was lucky that he didn't raise the price.

The twin brothers had no names. They grew up in the Tzu Chi orphanage and voluntarily sold themselves. They were only perfunctorily called Wang Xiaoda and Wang Xiaoer in the pawnbroker. After Gu Yue consulted the two, he looked at Shi San and named the twin brothers Shi Si and Shi Wu.

Shi Sangeng had no objection.

However, Shi Si and Shi Wu were straightforward. When they heard that the cold-looking man of a foreign race was called Shi San, they naturally recognized him as their leader and followed him.

Gu Xu: ...Your naming skills are not much different from those of the dental clerk's manager.

Of course, Gu Yue had no idea about Gu Xu’s inner complaints. He looked at the newly recruited team, who were all the future veterans of the company!

Taking advantage of the complicated staff of the pharmacy, Gu Yue asked the manager about the matters concerning Baoshun Pharmacy.

Baoshun Pharmacy is a shop that specializes in getting medicine for dignitaries. It seems that there are shops in every major city, and ordinary people don't often go there to get medicine. However, Baoshun Pharmacy often sells pills at a special price, and also recruits paid drug testers from the people, so its reputation is pretty good.

It is said that Baoshun's boss is some kind of miraculous doctor who often develops prescriptions to benefit the people, but it is just a rumor.

There's no bad information here, it just sounds like a pharmacy.

After bidding farewell to the steward and checking out of the inn, they hurried back home.

Because there were more people on the return trip, the original three carriages were not enough. When they encountered the assassination in the forest, two of their horses ran away, but they snatched one back from the black-clad man. The horse pulling the carriage was slightly injured, but fortunately the horse's legs were not injured. Some people rode horses, some sat in the front of the carriage, and they were barely on the road.

It doesn’t matter whether you are overloaded or not. There is no Beiqin Traffic Law these days.

……

The child Chai Gui was awakened by being shaken.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar face. The person was moving his hands and feet and placing him on something soft.

Chai Gui opened his mouth in fear, but didn't scream.

Wu Feng greeted him: "Are you awake? You slept well, and you were snoring."

Chai Gui sat up suddenly.

This seemed to be in a carriage. The carriage stopped where it was and did not move forward. There were voices coming from outside.

"Where is this?" Chai Gui asked stutteringly with red eyes.

"You know something you shouldn't know. To be on the safe side, we stole you out." Wu Feng said, "Why, do you still want to go back?"

Chai Gui sobbed.

"You little guy, you are smart, but you just can't control your mouth. Talk less in the future. If you say something you shouldn't, be careful or I will pull out your tongue." Wu Feng threatened.

Chai Gui immediately shut his mouth and nodded obediently.

Wu Feng got off the carriage.

Chai Gui looked around. The carriage was not big, but the seat boards could be put together to form a small bed, which was covered with a mattress, so he lay on the mattress.

The child also jumped out of the car.

This was a wide open space with half shade and half sun, and the cars were parked on the side with the shadow of the mountain. A few horses were grazing nearby, and a few people in tight clothes were standing or sitting to rest, with four people on the side closest to the mountain wall.

Gu Yue was holding a meeting for new employees. He was standing while He Gui, Shi Si and Shi Wu sat on the floor, looking at him admiringly.

"...When working in our Gu family, what is the most important thing? Loyalty!" Gu Yue said passionately, "Being stupid and making mistakes is certainly a problem, but if you have a loyal heart, you still have the opportunity to correct your mistakes. The Gu family treats every loyal employee as a family member. What is a family member? Family members share honor and disgrace, and family members are a community of interests..."

"... Next, let's talk about unity. In the Gu family, you can be unintelligent, but you must be united. At any time, showing off is absolutely wrong. Each of us has our own strengths and weaknesses. He Gui, you have a quick mind and can read and count. Shi Si and Shi Wu can't read and count, but you can't compare to them in terms of physical strength."

"What should we do at such times? --Oh, yes, unite. No one is omniscient and omnipotent, so people have to live in groups to complement each other's deficiencies. So at any time, we must avoid fighting alone..."

"...I also want to teach you something that many people don't have, and that is dignity! Everyone has self-respect. Even if you are in slavery, dignity will not abandon you. In the Gu family, you are not inferior slaves. You are dignified people who live by your own labor. No one can trample on you for no reason!..."

Wu Feng took the water bag and walked to Yun Huoyan and the other three who were sitting in a row under the shade of a tree.

"He said this to this group of slaves? I'm afraid it won't work." Wu Feng said.

"What you said is indeed good, measured, reasonable, and it also promises people a bright future." Wu Huo read it with relish, "Some of the words are really good, but I don't know how sincere they are?"

"At least Shi Si and Shi Wu believed it. Look at their expressions." Wu Yun said, "He Gui also looked very happy. I don't know whether it's true or not, but at least he said it and spent time thinking about them, which in itself means that he is a good master."
