"I've told you before, Mr. Liang is not a mortal. He is a star from the sky descending to earth. It is your destiny to be able to follow him. Look at how you are doing now. He was beaten to death even if he wanted to pick dung, and he will be assigned next time. Go to that damn place in Shouzhou!"
Secretary Huang bluntly scolded Sun Shubo. Sun Shubo held back his anger and cursed non-stop. He had been a big boss for half his life, and he really had no other place to go.
Liang Shiguang sat quietly and let An Yisheng apply medicine on his back. He didn't say a word from beginning to end. Both of them were soldiers and had strong bodies. However, fifty military sticks was not child's play, and it cost the two of them most of their lives. .
Shouzhou was in Shandong. In the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, Shouzhou was renamed Shouzhang County, and Li Kui became the magistrate of Shouzhang County. It's not a very far journey, but being sent to a place like this because of a crime would make anyone feel uncomfortable.
Xia Song didn't eat sand that day. On the contrary, he had a big meal and felt full. In the end, in order to earn money from Wang De, he bit his own mouth open, covered it with a mouthful of blood, and cheated Wang De. Bundle.
After Xia Song returned to Bianjing, he severely interfered with Wang Deyong. Wang Deyong also took the blame for himself. He pushed out Liang Shiguang and Sun Shubo, and then severely rectified the situation. After observing military discipline, he gave an explanation to the court.
Liang Chuan was also assigned to the Western Army. Fortunately, Xia Song promoted him to an officer. Later, he gave up his official position and left the northwest. Otherwise, he would have stayed there for the rest of his life.
The two of them had no choice but to say anything now. The Song Dynasty team could not stay, let alone the supporting troops. They were slaves to others doing hard work, worse than mules and horses.
Everything is ready, all it takes is one teacher to make a name for himself!
Liang Chuan took the stone and built another store next to the Forbidden City, and erected a banner with four big characters written on it - Shunfeng Escort!
The importance of logistics goes without saying in any dynasty. The Qin Emperor opened the Chi Road and the Sui Yang Canal just for the efficiency of object circulation! There were inns in ancient times, but the inns on official roads were generally official inns, which were only for the royal family to deliver documents and were not used by ordinary people.
Who doesn’t have some family letters, clothes, money, and goods that they want to transport? Even Yi Niang saw the importance of logistics. The commodity economy in the Song Dynasty was so prosperous, and the need for logistics was even greater!
Shitou kept shouting for Liang Chuan to take him to start a new business. Liang Chuan thought about it and decided to take this opportunity to go to Shouzhou to really start this business!
Liang Chuan does not want to open the Wanda Chamber of Commerce in Bianjing City, because this is not his roots, and he will leave soon, making it difficult to run. However, the escort agency is different. In the future, escort agencies will spread all over the world, and several major cities will have at least one escort branch. Bian Escort spots in Beijing are even more essential!
Shunfeng Escort Agency is the first in the world!
The word "dart" means gold on the left and money on the right. Protecting people's money is the purpose of its creation. Judging from the records of the history of Shanxi escort agencies, the first real escort agency did not appear until the Qing Dynasty. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was an organization called Daxing, which was composed of warriors and specialized in escorting escorts. It was almost similar to the escort agency, but it was almost the same. It is a product four hundred years later!
The four characters of "Shunfeng Escort Bureau" attracted the attention of many people. Bianhe Street became more and more lively day by day, and novel things appeared one after another. First, there was the Forbidden City, singing new lyrics and music that had never been seen in the world, and then there was another charity house. In ordinary pharmacies, the doctors inside are skilled in medicine and the medicines are cheap. People who buy the same medicinal materials in this pharmacy say that the quality is much higher than in other places! It is extremely popular with local people and has become famous in Bianjing City even before it officially opens!
Now it's this escort agency again. It's the first time I've heard of such an agency!
Even Shitou was surprised. He had done a lot of business. Liang Chuan told him that this escort agency did not sell goods, only services!
There are still people selling services in the world! The business is not yet developed enough, and of course they are not aware of the profits. At present, they are the only ones doing logistics. If they are big and mature, the market potential is extremely huge!
"Third brother, escort agency? Can you make money?"
Liang Chuan looked at the four big characters and fell into endless thoughts. When e-commerce and logistics first emerged, many people suspected it was a fraud. It wasn't until the goods he bought were delivered to him from thousands of miles away that the Chinese people I began to believe in this new way of shopping, and it was this new way of shopping that created several of the richest men in China. Shitou asked if this way could make money, of course it could!
One of the characteristics of the feudal era was isolation. Some people never even left their own villages in their lives. But people who have seen the world can often take advantage of the inequality of information to sell silk from the south to the north, and sell medicinal materials and porcelain from the north to the south. However, most people still seldom make this kind of hard-earned money, because after leaving the town, the risk factor in the wild is too great, the society is not peaceful, and the people who rob and block the road are no less than the wild beasts!
Rich people don't do anything themselves, so things like sending escorts and escorts are of great use to them! Especially in a big city like Bianjing with hundreds of residents, there are countless market prices for local business alone!
Liang Chuan smiled but didn't answer.
Shitou said: "I was stupid. Third brother, you have always been good at not taking action. When you do, you are generous. Are you really going to do this business for me?"
Liang Chuan said: "I don't trust this business being run by others. If done well, this is a valuable tool that will come in handy in the future!"
Shitou asked: "What's the use?"
"You will know in the future!"
A large table was placed in front of the Shunfeng Escort Bureau, with pens and papers on it. There were eighteen kinds of weapons on the left and right sides. Two stone locks were thrown on the ground. Each one weighed about 180 kilograms. Liang Chuan weighed it himself. , a bit of weight.
The maidservants from the Forbidden City were also asked to come out to help and set up a battle array in front of the Shunfeng Escort Bureau, which was very eye-catching. Under Jin Yao's training, the girls in the Forbidden City are now all beautiful and well-behaved.
The girls attracted countless people's attention as soon as they appeared. The people of Bianjing City have long known that there are many ways to play in the Forbidden City. The girls inside are all more beautiful than Diao Chan. Today, everyone's eyes were straightened when they saw it, especially the girls. The cheongsams they wore showed off their figures, which made your eyes hurt!
The girls held a big sign with two official script characters written on it: Recruitment!
There were so many weapons placed on the ground. When everyone saw it, it looked a bit like a boxing show!
In less than one stick of incense, Bianhe Street was once again crowded with people on three floors inside and outside. The Bianhe River in Kaifeng, many people even drove small boats to block the Bianhe River to watch!
"What kind of manpower is Guibao recruiting?"
The residents of Bianjing who had done something good did not wait for the good thing to happen to others, and the onlookers eagerly started asking questions.
"The store recruits heroes from all walks of life. If you have skills, you can come to the store to apply. As long as you can knock people down with all kinds of martial arts skills!"
“It turned out that I was recruiting thugs!”
Liang Chuan smiled and responded one by one: "No, the thugs are the thugs targeted by the government. The ones our shop recruits are called bodyguards. They are usually responsible for delivering goods and money and traveling around!"
"Then you have set up an arena?"
"You can also say that, but time is tight. The escorts recruited by the small shop do not need to be the best in martial arts. They only need to be able to obey the arrangements and have organizational discipline!"
"How's the treatment?"
"This is a business where blood is licked from the blade, so the price is naturally higher than in other industries!"
"Then you see if I can succeed!"
A strong man immediately jumped out from the crowd, took a horse stance, tightened his clothes and pants, said "Hey", blushed and pulled up the stone lock on the ground! The people watching on the side suddenly cheered!
Liang Chuan also cheered: "The strong man is so strong!"
This strong man was obviously a little weak. The stone lock weighed one hundred and eighty kilograms, and he was out of breath after dancing for a few times.
Another man flashed out from the crowd: "What's the difficulty!" As soon as he came out, he didn't even have to step on his horse. He picked up another stone lock with one hand. Not only did he swing it, he could also throw it to the sky and make various movements. The cheers from the crowd were even louder!
Shitou likes to be lively, and he also likes to make friends with all kinds of heroes in the world. He didn't expect that making money would attract these people to his command, and he couldn't help but wish for it!
"Third brother, what are our criteria for finding a bodyguard? We can't want anyone who can pick up this stone lock, right?"
Liang Chuan was also fascinated by the sight: "Of course we can't ask for everyone. The first item in our assessment is strength. People who can fight are generally strong. One strength will reduce ten points. The second thing is character. Our escort business often The escorts are all gold, silver and jewelry. If our people are not clean and keep stealing, then our business will not be successful, and the signboard will be more likely to be smashed!"
"What should we do?"
"My idea is to recruit people according to the same standards for recruiting Tianxiong Army. Don't recruit people with particularly high kung fu, otherwise we won't be able to control them. And I also have candidates for the chief escort, my sworn brothers Qin Jing and Yuchi. Everyone is a fierce general who is unique among ten thousand, and the generals of Xixia are no match for them, so they should be able to do this job!"
Shitou was both happy and worried at first: "Brother Qin and Brother Yuchi are indeed fierce generals, but they are far away in Qingyuan now, how can they take office immediately?"
"I have two suitable candidates right now, don't worry!" Liang Chuan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled mysteriously at Shi Shi.
If the Tianxiong Army was by his side, he wouldn't have to go to society to recruit these idle people. He could immediately change his clothes and be used as a bodyguard. Unfortunately, Xia Song was too busy urging him to go back and forth, and it would take him half a year!
The job fair was carried out very quickly. With the golden sign of the Forbidden City, everyone knew that Liang Chuan's background was extremely powerful and they were not afraid that this employer would cheat them of their wages.
Liang Chuan is now following Xia Song, and with this background, he will go out on the rivers and lakes as they say. Who dares not to give him a third of face? If he dares to cause trouble, is he not an old man who hangs himself because he thinks he has a long life? Xia Song sent a document to the local government, but the local government couldn't eradicate all the robbers who were causing trouble?
Recruiting bodyguards is the same as recruiting security guards to escort cash trucks at a bank.
The minimum standard for recruiting escorts is to hold a stone lock. With this standard, more than 100 people entered the second round of interviews. The second round of interviews was also very simple. Liang Chuan and Shi Shi sat in the hall and asked questions. Without exception, Liang Chuan was fired for those who were particularly talkative. Like the Tianxiong Army, if the team wants to maintain centripetal force, they will not dare to recruit those who are too smart. .
Smart people certainly have ways of doing things, but the escort profession is about loyalty and reliability rather than cleverness! An honest person will not disappoint the escort agency if he gets his own benefits, let alone have any undue thoughts, and his loyalty can be trusted. This is the most important thing.
The third point is to check whether there is a criminal record, whether there are tattoos or large scars on the body.
I went to Kaifeng Mansion to inquire about my criminal record. I spent a small amount of money, and the clerk inside took out some personal information. As for tattoos and scars, it was even easier. It was obvious once I took off my clothes, but anyone who likes to cause trouble cannot do it. this industry.
The fourth point is that you need to have a family in Bianjing City. Having a family will provide you with a guarantee. If something goes wrong, you can run away. A monk cannot run away from the temple. Chinese people like to sit together. If a person can even let go of his family, then There's really nothing we can do against him.
Escort agencies have regulations for escort agencies, three rules on land: do not stay in new stores, no Yizhu stores, and no prostitutes. Three rules on waterways: sleep day and night, and stay awake at night. Do not leave the boat. Women are taboos. Three taboos for guest escorts: do not ask where the bag is. , avoid having private conversations with your employer, and avoid asking for rewards midway.
In the escort business, a brand name is very important, and it is even more difficult to establish a brand name. If the escort agents below are not strictly restrained and something goes wrong, it may be difficult to continue in this business.
Of course, the wages of escorts are one point higher than those of people in the Forbidden Army. They are also earned by licking blood on the blades and paying for them with their lives.
The monthly salary of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty was about 600 yuan plus two kilograms of rice, which converted into about 3,000 yuan. Although this kind of money would not make one rich in Bianjing, it was enough to establish oneself. During the Chinese New Year, when the price of rice is not good, the loss of two shi of rice is bloody. You can only carry it home and eat it yourself. Otherwise, most of the soldiers of the Forbidden Army will choose to take the money directly, so that they can feel at ease when the money is in their pockets!
Liang Chuan's craftsmanship is naturally unmatched by others. The first payment is 5,000 yuan, and the direct cash payment means that this group of bodyguards who are licking blood do not have to worry about the exchange rate of rice prices, and the settlement at the beginning of the month will not be in arrears!
These are not the only bonuses Liang Chuan throws out!
As long as you join Shunfeng Escort Agency, every year in the future will be counted as seniority! One year's monthly salary plus one hundred yuan is equivalent to one more year's salary for one more year of work! As long as he can work until he retires at the age of sixty, an old escort can still get a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan without having to practice escorting!
There is such a good thing! Damn it, everyone in Bianjing City shouted that this owner didn’t take money seriously!
The most indispensable thing in Bianjing City is labor! When a clerk gets old, he will be fired, and there is no room for negotiation. Who will take the old man seriously? To be too old to die is to be a thief! This boss can treat his aging brother kindly, who wouldn't want to work for him!
Liang Chuan's sugar-coated cannonball is not just a one-shot. Once the money is in place, social care must also be in place.
The recruitment sign at the door has three big characters written under the benefits, which caught people's attention: Medical insurance is available!
Even the stones were surprised by this word!
In ancient times, the most feared thing was injury and illness. These two things often only took a small amount of time and could lead to loss of life. Medical treatment is also a huge expense. When you get sick, you generally lose your ability to work, but you cannot stop taking medicine. The high mortality rate is often due to the lack of financial security after you get sick.
Escorts are a job of licking blood from the blade. It is normal for them to be injured and lose money. However, if they have to pay for the treatment of their injuries, it is also a huge expense. Liang Chuan did not have it before. Conditions, now that there is a pharmacy of your own nearby, and a doctor with the best medical skills in the world, can't you seek some benefits for your escort?
This series of benefits immediately won the favor of all the escorts who were interested in applying for Shunfeng Escort Agency! Compared to this, such treatment has never been seen even among the Forbidden Army!
Liang Chuan sifted through the more than a hundred people who lifted the stone locks one after another. Their level rose sharply. Not only did they have great strength, but they also had some unique skills, such as using guns and sticks. A lot of people let go Liang Chuan screened them left and right, and finally only number 50 people were left. All of them were talented and fierce, and all of them had hopes of joining the Forbidden Army. Liang Chuan also asked that the army was too restrictive. This kind of private escort agency could do whatever they wanted, and they could escape unscathed if they no longer wanted to do it.
Fifty people only trained in the escort agency for one day. Liang Chuan gave them suitable weapons and then told him various precautions on the way to escort the escort. Escort No. 50 is a ruthless character who doesn't talk much. Since they are all trying to make a meal out of others, they are also extremely conscientious. Liang Chuan only spoke once and everyone listened.
The first escort from the Shunfeng Escort Bureau also arrived quite quickly. There was a tea merchant named Boss Chen from Shouzhou, and his female relatives wanted to be sent to Bianjing to settle down. Since the war broke out in Gaoyou, several nearby states and counties were not at peace. He has a special status, and if something goes wrong, it will be a matter of life and death. Boss Chen asked someone to go to Bianjing City to inquire about it. Hearing that there was a new Shunfeng Escort Agency in the city that specialized in escorting people, so he asked about it.
The remuneration given was quite generous, as much as 10,000 yuan, and the task was also very simple. Bringing Boss Chen's daughter from Shouzhou to Bianjing would be considered a completion of the task! Boss Chen's steward and his daughter have arrived in Bianjing City first.
This steward is really Boss Chen's steward, and the daughter is not the steward's daughter. The daughter is none other than Lu Yi, whom Xia Song is trying to replace.
Before leaving, Liang Chuan asked Yelv Chongguang to take a large box of his money to the gold store and exchange it for golden melon seeds. There was a big bag full of gold seeds. When he opened it, it was full of small melon seeds, which made Liang Chuan himself greedy.
A golden melon seed is about one tael in size, which is about ten guan in money! A small golden melon seed can pay for two months' salary of an escort who comes and goes in rain or shine! You only need a small bag of money, which is convenient to carry on your body. You can't carry dozens of dollars with your trousers hanging down.
The escorts were all gearing up, waiting to perform well along the way and make a good start for Zheng Dong's family, and they were clamoring to earn some honors for Liang Chuan. Bodyguard No. 50, together with Liang Chuan and Shitou, boarded Xia Dehai's treasure ship and headed for Shandong along the canal.
No one had ever been on such a large treasure ship. When they boarded the ship and met Luo Xian and others from the urban management team, they were even more shocked. Although this team was small in number, the murderous aura emanating from them made the escorts stay away. Far away!
In the cabin, Liang Chuan and Lu Yi looked at each other and smiled, with Liang Chuan standing and Lu Yi sitting.
"Fate plays tricks on people."
Lu Yi stood up and said a deep blessing to Liang Chuan as he entered the cabin: "I'm fine, my dear friend. Fate plays tricks on me, not others."
"We are all downgraded people in the world, but my luck is better than yours. Have you really thought about it clearly? If it is too late to turn back on this road now, there will be no turning back if you continue on this path!"
Lu Yi said with tears in his eyes: "I have been saved by my benefactor many times. Everyone has his or her own destiny. My little girl was born unknown, and even my biological father abandoned me like a shoe. There is nothing in this world that I care about, but now I am with my benefactor." We have a long history, and I don’t want to harm my benefactor!”
Only now did Lu Yi convince herself that the one who had a one-night stand with her that day was really Zhao Zhen, and that Zhao Zhen had arranged everything and asked Xia Song to give her a new identity. What surprised her most was that the one who accompanied her all the way was actually her own grace. Gongliangchuan.
She had known that Liang Chuan had changed over the years. Liang Chuan was now considered a man of the hour in Bianjing City. After experiencing Ding Wei's rebellion, he could still stand firm and make a comeback. How many people in the court could have this ability?
Even the treasure ship she is riding on now belongs to Liang Chuan. Of course Liang Chuan has the ability to take her away, but the world is owned by officials. Taking her away openly is tantamount to a slap in Zhao Zhen's face. It is not harming her benefactor. ?
"You can't hurt me, and I won't hurt you. There are some things you must think clearly. The decision is yours!"
