Chapter 1047 The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled
Several people looked at her, waiting for her to speak.
Zhou Guo said: "These people have just arrived and are not familiar with many things in the escort agency. It is useless to go to the south at this time. What I think is that these people can just replace the people in the northern escort agency.
Transfer half of the veterans to go south with the people coming out of the border. With veterans to guide them, they can get started faster. The rest can stay in the north so that they won’t be left without anyone to guide them.”
The business of the escort agency is neither complicated nor nor neither complicated, but if there is no one to lead the way, you will suffer some losses and take some detours in the beginning.
She continued, "And I think these people are still not as aggressive as they used to be. If you want to send them to the south, it would be best to temper their tempers in the north first."
The soldiers retiring from the barracks at this time cannot be compared with those in her previous life.
But the bald-headed man thought it was not a big deal. "They are all wounded soldiers, with broken arms and legs. They can't even fight on the front line, and can only do odd jobs in the back. How can they still have the spirit of a bandit? Now that they heard that they can be reused, they are so grateful that they can't wait to cause trouble."
He had also served in the army. Although he had not seen many disabled soldiers, he had met a few and had some say.
Niu Si and the others thought it made sense and nodded.
Zhou Guo said: "Even so, we can't be careless about this matter. We have to be careful. We have such a big family business. We have worked hard to get to where we are now. We can't let ourselves go back to the beginning because of carelessness."
It's right to be cautious.
Everyone nodded.
The bald-headed man said, "Yes, yes, that's right. Now other escort agencies are not weak either. If we fall, whether we can stand up again is another matter."
The north has been getting better and better in recent years. With more orders, all the escort agencies have also been doing well.
Although other companies did not develop as fast as the Haoguo Escort Agency, they were not weak either. Moreover, they had the example of the Haoguo Escort Agency and could learn from it. Even if they could not learn everything, they could at least learn something.
There are so many escort agencies now, which is really a far cry from previous years.
A few people discussed again that there were escort agencies in the south that needed manpower. After taking these people, it would take at most half a year before they would go to the south.
This is a good time to discuss which escort agencies need to expand their staff.
The group discussed for a day and a night before finally arranging everything.
Early the next morning, Zhou Guo and Laizi Tou selected about thirty brothers and rode their horses to the border to pick up the people.
When the group arrived at the border, the person had not come out yet.
The bald-headed man stood on his horse, looking at the checkpoint not far away, and said, "Boss, is the letter about today? It's already noon, why is there no movement at all?"
Their escort agency is very busy. If they bring so many people out at once, they will lose a lot of money in a day.
Zhou Guo said: "It's today, please be patient, it's not even dark today, why are you in such a hurry?"
The group dismounted and found an open space to eat lunch and nibble on some dry food.
Zhou Guo took out a piece of braised beef in soy sauce, took a bite of the beef and a bite of the pancake, eating with relish.
When you are hungry, everything tastes delicious.
After everyone finished their meal, they waited for about half an hour before there was finally movement at the checkpoint.
Zhou Guo listened attentively, feeling the faint sound of uniform footsteps coming from the front, and said, "Here they come."
The bald man jumped up and said to the crowd, "Hurry up, hurry up, everyone is here, be more enthusiastic, but not too enthusiastic, otherwise people will think we are soft persimmons and look down on us. In short, we should make people think we are amiable but not easy to bully. Remember?"
"Remember." Everyone answered in unison, hiding their smiling faces.
Before they set out, Laizi Tou had warned them several times that they must not let people think they were easy to control and that they must be the masters of their own territory, even though these people had once been the backbone of Xu's army.
Zhou Guo looked at everyone who was facing a formidable enemy, feeling both sad and amused. She hoped that her decision would not be wrong.
After more than a quarter of an hour, I finally saw someone.
"Here we go, He, there are so many people!"
"With so many people, our escort agency will no longer be short of people, and we won't have to recruit people outside all year round, right?"
The escort agency has been expanding year by year in recent years and is always short of people, but it is not easy to find such a person. He is not a clerk in a shop, so it is not easy to find a suitable one.
They are having a headache because of this matter.
Zhou Guo had good eyesight and saw that among the crowd of people, there were people leaning on crutches, people missing an arm, people with their heads bandaged, and some old people with white hair...
How did this guy with white hair and hunched body join Xu's army?
Xu Jiajun also wants such a person?
Can I still go to the battlefield? Will I have to stay in the barracks for the rest of my life?
The bald-headed man frowned tightly and whispered in her ear: "Boss, it would be better for us to recruit people from outside instead of these people. Although their fighting ability is not strong, compared with these people, they are still good hands and feet."
Looking at the one with completely white hair, he added, "You are still young and strong."
At least I'm stronger than these people.
He sighed again, "It seems that I can only take him to farm."
Their escort agency doesn't want people like this.
I don’t know what’s wrong with the boss to want such a person. Does he want to bring down the escort agency?
Zhou Guo glanced at him and said, "Shut up."
A man on horseback came galloping towards the front, holding something in his hand, looked at the soldiers at the checkpoint, and said something, then opened and closed the checkpoints layer by layer.
"Let's go." Zhou Guo led his men to meet them, jumped on their horses and galloped forward.
He waved to the man on the horse and shouted, "Brother, brother, I'm here!!"
Xu Sibei's eyes lit up, and he rode over, laughing, "I was thinking it would be nice to run into you. It really is."
The two of them laughed for a long time.
Zhou Guo asked: "Why did you deliver it in person?"
Xu Sibei said: "There are still some things I need to explain to you. I am worried about others coming. I asked my eldest brother for five days' leave this time so that I can accompany you back to Yunzhou."
Zhou Guo nodded happily, "That's great. With so many people coming at once, I'm worried that I won't be able to control them."
Xu Sibei said: "With your methods, you will be able to control them. They are all retired from the battlefield. The people here are no longer suitable for the battlefield. After spending so many years in the rear, many people have lost their will and feel that they are useless. It is worrying to place these people in the barracks.
If you just change their place, maybe these people will come back to life. Don't worry about these people getting together and causing trouble. They are all Xu's army. The Xu's army has strict military discipline. When they go to war, they don't touch the things of ordinary people. This rule is engraved in their bones."
Those who were robbed were all landlords and gentry.
Zhou Guo nodded and said with a smile: "Then you still have to help me. I'm just wondering whether I should temper these people's tempers."
Xu Sibei said: "From now on, you are their master, their boss, you can do whatever you want to them. Come, let me let them get to know you."
