071 Selecting People for Ping An

The next day.

When Ping'an, Da Wu and Xiao Wu finished their morning exercise and came out to have breakfast after washing up, they found that the master and the husband were sitting at the table.

Both of them looked very tired, with obvious dark circles under their eyes.

"Ping An, come and eat. After you finish eating, come with me to pick people. You can also pick two, and the rest will be sent to different places."

Sun Wen also smiled and said, "Ping An, this is someone that Master Fang has trained for several years. You can ask your master for two more."

Ping'an saw that his master was smiling without saying anything, and he was also eager to make a move. People are better than money.

The young disciple's eyes were so bright that Sun Sicheng couldn't ignore them.

"Ping An, Da Wu and Xiao Wu are your martial arts masters. They will follow you from now on. Find two more tomorrow. It would be better to choose a female doctor to help you clean up and cook for you on weekdays. There will be times when the master is not with you."

Ping An calculated in his mind that if he included Er Qiang and the other three, there would be eight people in total.

"Master, Da Wu and Xiao Wu are your people, how can I snatch them away?"

Sun Sicheng was amused: "You're still trying to snatch them away? How can you snatch them away if I don't give them to you? Ping An, they will be yours in the future, but we spend a lot of time together, so if there's something you need, shouldn't you just ask them to do it?

But if we are separated for some reason, they will mainly protect you. For example, at the end of the year, I may go to Beijing, and you may stay with your parents. "

Ping An stood up, bowed and saluted: "Ping An thanks you very much, Master."

"You're welcome. You have to study hard from now on." Sun Sicheng looked at Sun Wen again, "You also pick four people tomorrow. Pick two people who are good at fighting, and pick two people who can do accounting. Some things can be done by others. One person has limited energy."

Sun Wen laughed and said, "Thank you very much, but you still have to support these people. I can't afford it. Ping An, the same goes for you. Starting tomorrow, you will have eight people under your name, and the monthly salary alone will be quite a lot."

Ping An was stunned. He has to pay the monthly salary himself?

Sun Sicheng really laughed happily this time.

The young apprentice's face froze. This kid's brain was immediately at a loss when it came to money matters.

"Ping An, your monthly salary is five taels, and Er Qiang and the others are temporarily set at five hundred coins. If they do well, we will increase it.

All the expenses of your subordinates are paid by the public account, where do you get the money to pay them?"

Ping An grinned.

Fu Du had some silver, and asked his mother to hide two thousand taels at home.

But he couldn't bear to do so.

The monthly salary for eight people is not small, and the food, clothing, and other expenses are even more.

The three younger ones have low monthly wages, after all, they can’t play any role now. But Xiao Wu and the others are guards, and their monthly wages and other benefits are very good.

"Pick the people this morning and we'll leave right away. We'll take you to Tianguang Temple tomorrow and leave early the day after tomorrow. We've wasted a lot of time this time, and we'll have to hurry the rest of the way."

Sun Sicheng announced in public that Da Wu and Xiao Wu would follow Ping An from now on, and the two knelt down on the spot to acknowledge their master.

Ping An looked calm and smiled gently, but he was actually very excited inside.

Da Wu and Xiao Wu are really good at kung fu, and are among the top two among the six. The master is really generous to them.

Although he said he was selecting people, Fang Ming had actually already screened them. Of course, the best ones would be given to the eldest son, and the rest would be sent to various places in Da Zhou according to the names submitted.

At present, there are only two brothers in Baicao Valley who truly train people.

The master has absolute trust in them brothers, so when this incident happened, Fang Ming felt even more sad.

There are still more than a hundred people after the screening, and each of them looks at the eldest master with sparkling eyes. Being able to leave the valley and stay with the master is a thousand times better than staying in the valley.

Sun Sicheng let Ping An choose first.

Ping An was embarrassed: "Ping An, please help me choose, I don't know how to choose."

Ping'an's little face has grown flesh now. It is fair, clean, chubby and very delicate, like a fairy child in a painting.

Sun Sicheng couldn't help but pinch his little face, "Okay, Master will help Ping An choose, but you just watch behind."

Sun Wen looked at this with a sour look on his face. He was probably the first person in the whole Zhou Dynasty to pamper his apprentice like this.

It’s also important that the student is safe and well-behaved. Otherwise, how can one teach the student to be good if he doesn’t know the rules?

A quarter of an hour later, Ping An was followed by three teenagers, two boys and one girl.

Tong Lin and Tong Miao are real siblings, one is seventeen and the other fifteen. Tong Lin is good at kung fu, has extraordinary talent and great strength. Both of them are orphans.

There is another one, Zhang Xiaoshan, the one who got beaten. He is also gifted in growing medicine. Most of the medicines that are difficult to grow can be grown by him. He often delivers medicine to pharmaceutical workshops. When he is not busy growing medicine, he occasionally works for the pharmaceutical master. Over time, his medicine-making skills are not much worse than those of the workshop masters.

He is a person who is naturally sensitive to medicinal herbs.

Fang Ming was reluctant to let him go, but the eldest son wanted to give him to Master Ping'an, and there was no shortage of herbal medicine growers in the valley, so he had to let him go.

Sun Sicheng said, "Ping An, from now on, they are yours for life. The contracts of the three of them will be given to you directly later, and Da Wu and Xiao Wu's will also be given to you later. Treat them well and take good care of them."

Ping An smiled and said, "Master, I'll remember it. Thank you, Master."

It was easy for Sun Wen to select people. There were only a few people in the valley who could do accounting, and there were only a dozen of them in total. He quickly selected two young men.

Sun Sicheng was very quick in selecting people, but

In a quarter of an hour, he picked out ten people, eight boys and two girls, all of whom knew martial arts. One of the young men was good at making medicine, and the two girls had medical skills, especially in obstetrics and gynecology. They were fellow apprentice sisters of Tong Miao.

The oldest of these people is no more than twenty years old, and the youngest is fifteen or sixteen. They are all full of vitality and are a pleasure to watch.

"Fang Ming, I will leave the day after tomorrow morning. Thank you for your trouble here. After sending these people away, you can personally select a group of good children and train them well to serve as a few young masters in the future. The term is five years. Try to think on your own when encountering things. If you really can't make up your mind, go and discuss it with Wu Qi."

"Yes, don't worry, young master."

"I have nothing to worry about you. Just go do your thing. I'll leave after they finish packing. As for the new medicine, wait for news. You can let the masters practice with it first."

Ping'an followed Jixiang to the yard, occasionally looking back, and saw the tall Fang Ming following his master closely with a look of reluctance on his face.

I have to say, the master is very good at controlling people.

Don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ. Give the other party tremendous trust, and when things really get tough, act decisively and stop losses in time.

Sun Sicheng didn't need Fang Ming to see him off. He didn't like farewells. His subordinates all knew it over the years. Soon, Fang Ming would be busy with his own affairs.

How to send such a large group of people is also a problem, as the valley is not open to anyone as much as possible.

Sun Sicheng looked at Sun Wen beside him and said, "From now on, give Ping An more lessons. The martial arts will only be limited to morning exercises. I will also increase the intensity of the medical skills."

Sun Yat-sen was puzzled: "He is not even eight years old yet, why is he being made to suffer so much?"

Sun Sicheng sighed, "Perhaps I am still too selfish. This child is much smarter than others. I haven't decided yet which path to let him take. He can only study or learn medicine.

My patron in the capital is old, and his descendants can't take over. I can't count on them. Several people in my family are not capable enough. My eldest son may inherit Baicaotang in the future, but I don't know about my second son. He seems to be doing well in studying, but he is far from being safe."

Sun Yat-sen was silent for a while: "Ping An is a good candidate for medical studies. I personally think that he is a genius who can study hard and become an official. He is very young, but I have never heard him say anything wrong. He has a calm and generous personality.

But, young master, I think he prefers studying medicine and doing business, so you should communicate with him well, otherwise he may become alienated in the future."

Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "Being apart? No, he is my disciple, and we will be closer in the future. I will not harm him. Of course, what you said makes sense."

After saying this, he was in a good mood and strode forward.

Sun Wen was shocked, it turned out that the eldest son had this idea.
