The capital could not fall into chaos. If something really happened under the eyes of the Emperor, he would not be able to bear the responsibility.
Yuan Gang said, "The people we are recruiting are all poor people who are looking for a living. They haven't found a job yet, so nothing will happen."
However, Hu Yanwei did not think so. His expression became a bit more serious. He summoned a follower and ordered him to transfer a group of people from his elder brother's barracks, just in case.
The man jumped on his horse and quickly ran away.
At this time, Hu Yanwei asked again, "Brother An, there are so many people. How many people are we recruiting?"
Yuan Gang turned his head and stared at him. He thought to himself, how careless is this person? So many people know about the movement, but you don't even know how many people your family is recruiting?
"How is it? My beard has just been trimmed. Everyone says it looks good, and a lot of young ladies fall for it. Last night, they desperately threw themselves at me! "
Hu Yanwei thought that he was admiring his "beautiful beard" and proudly used his hands to stroke the beard on his face.
Yuan Gang said coldly, "Recruiting three hundred people."
Hu Yanwei was surprised. "Recruiting three hundred people? Why are there so many people?"
He had never seen a scene where hundreds of people were recruited at once. Ordinary shops rarely recruited hundreds of people at once. He did not think that there was a need to recruit a lot of people, but that there were too many people.
Shopkeeper Gao really wanted to say that the treatment was good, and that food and accommodation were included!
However, Yuan Gang gave a different answer. "This means that there are many poor people in the Kingdom of Qi. If everyone can eat their fill and eat well, who would be so eager?"
As soon as these words came out, Hu Yanwei lowered his head and pondered for a moment. He then tilted his head and looked at Yuan Gang meaningfully. He patted his shoulder. "Brother, I understand your choice. However, some words can only be said in front of me. Don't talk nonsense in front of outsiders. Some people don't like to hear such words. "
Yuan Gang said, "Third Young Master, let's start recruiting!"
Hu Yanwei was at a loss, as if he did not know where to start. He asked, "How?"
Yuan Gang said, "There are so many people for you to choose. You can choose whoever you want. Just choose three hundred people."
Shopkeeper Gao sweated a little. Was there such a way to recruit people? They had to at least see if they were suitable. These two were really ambitious.
No matter how ignorant Hu Yanwei was, he still felt that there was something wrong with these words. He asked suspiciously, "Casual? That, that old man with a crutch and a missing leg. Don't tell me you're going to hire someone like that? "He raised his hand and pointed at the crowd.
Yuan Gang: "As long as it's suitable, it can be used by anyone."
As soon as he finished speaking, he vaguely remembered that these words seemed to have been said by Daoye before, but with a different meaning.
Hu Yanwei looked him up and down, as if he wanted to stay away from him. "I say, Brother An, don't mess around. You might be shameless, but I am. I personally came here to recruit people, but in the end, I hired a cripple in my shop. Wouldn't that be a joke? Can you be more serious? I'm counting on the tofu restaurant to make money. Don't mess around. "
Now, he felt that he should be here to recruit people. If he didn't come and watch and let this person recruit a bunch of crooked people, he would definitely be laughed at by his group of friends.
Seeing that Hu Yanwei had spoken, Shopkeeper Gao hurriedly echoed and corrected him, "Yes, yes, yes. Boss, Third Young Master is right. The people we're recruiting are people who carry burdens to the city every day. This person is missing a leg, so it won't be easy for him to carry the burdens!"
Yuan Gang said expressionlessly, "Then let's recruit young, capable, and strong people. What does Third Young Master think of this standard?"
This standard was good. Hu Yanwei was afraid that he would act recklessly, so he quickly nodded and said, "Okay, okay, this standard is not bad. This is the standard." He also winked at Shopkeeper Gao.
Shopkeeper Gao also quickly nodded in agreement. "Not bad, not bad."
Yuan Gang: "Then let's begin!" He reached out and motioned to Hu Yanwei.
Hu Yanwei had never done this before. He asked, "How do we do it?"
Yuan Gang: "Third Young Master, just pick people randomly. Whoever meets the standard, just pick them."
Randomly again? Can't you be more reliable? Hu Yanwei was afraid of him. He turned to look at Shopkeeper Gao and asked, "Will this work?"
"That's fine, but I don't know how their character will be like if we just randomly pick them. What if they are lazy and have dirty hands and feet …" Before he could finish his words, he noticed that Yuan Gang was glaring at him coldly. The murderous look in Yuan Gang's eyes was extremely terrifying. Thus, Manager Gao immediately changed his words. "However … I think it's doable. We can use them for now. If they are suitable, we can continue using them. If we really want to interrogate them one by one, I'm afraid it won't be finished in a few days. "
When he heard that it wouldn't be finished in a few days, and that he might have to spend a few days on this stupid matter, Hu Yanwei immediately became unwilling. He quickly said, "Brother An's idea is good. Let's do it this way. Start, start, hurry up and start!"
The specific organizational matters were naturally left to Shopkeeper Gao to handle.
Yuan Gang coldly observed the situation. If the situation became unfavorable, he could intervene and make adjustments at any time.
Hu Yanwei walked back and forth with his hands behind his back. From time to time, he would look at the sky and then the ground. He was quite impatient.
Shopkeeper Gao called the officials to help maintain order and let the people who came to apply for the job line up in front of him.
The rest was simple. Hu Yanwei looked at the people who passed by him. As long as they met the requirements, he would point the horsewhip in his hand. "You, come out!"
After the person came out, he went to the table on the side to register, which was considered a job.
After all this commotion, Yuan Gang was right. If Hu Yanwei were to pick people like this, wouldn't he just pick whoever he liked? If he didn't like the crooked melons and split dates, he wouldn't hire those he didn't like.
The major aspects were as Yuan Gang had expected. The seedlings that he had carefully selected for training had gone through more than a year of training. In terms of spirit, Qi, and spirit, ordinary people could not compare to them. As long as they passed by Hu Yanwei, they would all be pointed out by Hu Yanwei without exception.
The people lined up like this. In the end, the one-legged old man with a cane inevitably appeared in the line.
Hu Yanwei's eyes flashed and he directly skipped over him.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Gang stretched out his hand and pointed out the one-legged old man. "You, come here."
The old man walked out on his cane. Hu Yanwei's eyes went wide. No way, you really want to make a fool of yourself!
He hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the team from advancing and grabbed Yuan Gang's arm. "Brother, we've agreed to let me recruit people. You can't go back on your word!"
Yuan Gang said, "I just want to ask him about the situation."
Hu Yanwei expressed his doubts. "What's there to ask? There are many pitiful people in the world. Can you take care of them all?" The fact that he could say this showed that he understood Yuan Gang's thoughts.
Although he often spoke harshly, he was often reasonable.
Yuan Gang grabbed his wrist. Hu Yanwei grimaced in pain. "Fine, fine, fine. You're strong. Ask, ask!" As soon as his wrist loosened, he immediately retracted it and quickly rubbed it a few times.
Shopkeeper Gao glanced at the side and secretly sighed. This person was really impolite to the Third Young Master.
Yuan Gang asked the old man, "How should I address you, sir?"
The old man said respectfully, "Young Master is too polite. This old man is Yuan Dahu."
Yuan Gang asked again, "Sir, what happened to your leg?"
The old man sighed and said, "No one is born with one leg. I used to be a member of the Qi Kingdom's cavalry. Twenty years ago, in order to stop the Jin Kingdom's invasion, I was injured in the battle of Black Iron Mountain. That's how it is."
Yuan Gang said, "With you like this, your family is at ease to let you apply for a job?"
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "My family is long gone. When I was injured, I was not married yet. With me like this, the army can no longer accommodate me. After coming back, it's not convenient for me to take care of myself. It's not easy for everyone. It's understandable that no girl wants to marry me. My legs are inconvenient, so it's really difficult for me to find work. Young Master, don't look at me because I'm missing a leg. As long as it doesn't require two legs, I can do it. It doesn't matter if the salary is low, as long as I have something to eat. "
This old man's way of talking seems to have some knowledge. Yuan Gang was silent for a moment, then pointed to the registration table beside him and said, "Go register!"
Before the old man could thank him, Hu Yanwei immediately became angry. His eyes were like copper bells. "I say, Brother An, where's your character? You can't go back on your words. Didn't you say you were just going to ask him about his situation? Why did you recruit him? "
Yuan Gang said, "Did I say I wouldn't recruit him?"
"…" Hu Yanwei was speechless. Thinking about it this way, it seemed that the other party did not say he wouldn't recruit him. He was so angry that he spun around in a circle. "You're cheating!"
Yuan Gang said expressionlessly, "I won't let him work in the shop. I have other uses for him."
Hu Yanwei pointed at his nose and said, "That's what you said! Fine, I'll give you this face. " He had no choice but to give him. If this stubborn man insisted, he knew that he couldn't stop him. He turned to Manager Gao and said, "Remember, this old man is not allowed to work in the shop. I can't afford to lose face like that!"
Manager Gao said submissively and stole a glance at Yuan Gang.
The old man knew that Yuan Gang disliked him for being a cripple. However, when faced with the problem of survival, things like dignity were no longer important. He hurriedly bowed and thanked Yuan Gang again and again. After that, he was a little hesitant and did not rush to register.
Yuan Gang asked, "What's the problem, Old Mister?"
The old man glanced at the crowd and said, "Back then, there were five who were injured and came back with me. Now, there is only one left alive … There is also an old fellow who would like to help young master. If it is convenient for young master …"
Hu Yanwei suddenly turned around and said, "I'm telling you, don't be so shameless!"
The old man had an embarrassed look on his face.
Yuan Gang said, "Call him out and let me see."
Hu Yanwei's eyes widened. Yuan Gang ignored him and said to the old man, "Call him out!"
"Yes!" The old man bowed and shouted to the crowd, "Old Gu, come out. Come over quickly!"
Soon, a skinny old man was released and came over to greet him!
Hu Yanwei looked at him. Great, this man was missing an arm. He was really a good match for the previous one!
Yuan Gang only took a glance at him. He only took a glance at the other party's eyes before making a decisive decision. "Go and register!"
The two old men immediately thanked him profusely.
Hu Yanwei was furious, and there were signs of him going crazy.
Yuan Gang stared at him calmly. Slowly, he said, "Veterans don't die, they just wither! There's no reason why people who are injured for the country can't live on. I want these two people! "
"You …" Hu Yanwei was speechless.
The two old men, who had been tormented by life to the point of numbness, suddenly burst into tears. Their lips trembled as tears flowed down their cheeks. They seemed to be unable to control their emotions.
"Go and register!" Yuan Gang tilted his head and gestured to the two old men.
The two old men were so excited that they couldn't speak. They bowed deeply to him with their actions and walked towards the registration table.
