Chapter 144 Those who fought for the country

The wounds on these people were all traces of their fighting for Dayun, and every scar was a glory they were proud of.

Facing the scrutiny of the crowd, Li Yunfeng was very frank and had nothing to be embarrassed about.

He bowed and said, "We received a letter from General Tang saying that you were willing to hire our injured brothers. We were worried that we would delay your important matters, so we immediately summoned the brothers."

Except for Li Yunfeng, the rest of the people looked at Gan Fanren anxiously, with deep desire in their eyes.

It was their great fortune to save their lives on the battlefield, and they should not expect anything more.

Although General Tang gave them a lot of silver, no matter how much silver they have, it will be spent one day. They have diseases and no one is willing to use them.

They can only go to the dock to do some moving work, but those jobs are not only tiring, but also require beatings.

If they move slowly, they will be beaten.

They are already disabled, and the pain is even more unbearable when it is cloudy and rainy, and being beaten has become the norm.

It is okay to suffer a little in order to support the family, but the foreman at the dock always owes silver. If someone is in urgent need of silver, they need to help the foreman smuggle some things.

They were soldiers who fought to protect Dayun. How could they do something against their conscience for some money?

They gathered together to discuss how to get out of trouble. At this time, Li Yunfeng found them. They were very excited to hear that someone was willing to hire them as guards.

But there were too many of them, and it was impossible for all of them to come as guards, so they conducted a simple vote, and those who were in financial difficulties, in urgent need of money, or were physically disabled could come.

They were worried, fearing that the owner would change his mind, so they came overnight.

Although Li Yunfeng seemed indifferent on the surface, he was actually more nervous than them.

Gan Fanren felt sad when he saw these people.

When he heard his daughter's voice, saying that she wanted to hire these retired soldiers as guards, he was still a little indifferent. When these people appeared in front of him alive, he realized how many people this action could help.

"How many of you are there in total?"

"Thirty."

Li Yunfeng's jawline was tense, and his eyes fell straight on Gan Fanren's face.

Thirty people might be a bit too many, but these thirty brothers all had difficulties at home and were in urgent need of money. Even he was really struggling.

His daughter was seriously ill and was about to die. He borrowed money from all his relatives and friends but failed to get any money.

His disability was the lightest. He only had the tendons in his right hand cut. Although it was later reconnected, he could not do heavy work or write.

As a military strategist, he could not write, which was a heavy blow to him, so he had to leave the army and return to the capital.

He could not lift heavy objects with his hands, and he could not do any moving work. He could not write, so he could not be an accountant or copy books for others to make money.

For the sake of his daughter, he flattered his brothers and asked for this opportunity, but he was not sure whether all 30 of their brothers could stay.

After all, they all had disabilities.

"Thirty people."

Gan Fanren pondered for a while and did not speak.

There was a brief commotion in the crowd.

Gan Tian did not dare to breathe and looked at Gan Fanren quietly.

[These people look so pitiful. I wonder if Dad will keep them. ]

[When I think about how they have become what they are now in order to protect Dayun, but Dayun did not give them the respect they deserve, I feel so sad. ]

Gan Tian's nose was a little sour. She wanted to take something out of the virtual city system again.

But she just met these people, so it was not easy to take things out directly.

She hummed.

[I hope Daddy can keep them here. Even if Daddy doesn't want to keep them here, at least give them a chance to live.]

Gan Fanren frowned and calculated in his mind.

There are two doors in the house, two people on each guard, that's four people, if they change guard three times a day, that's twelve people.

Thirty people will only have eighteen left.

If they are divided into two teams, there will only be nine people, not even enough people to change guards.

Seeing Gan Fanren hesitate to speak, Li Yunfeng clenched his fists and then quietly loosened them, and finally clenched them again.

"Master Gan, if you think there are too many people, I can stop working here. I just ask you to give other brothers a chance."

"Military Advisor Li, you can't lose this job. Your daughter is seriously ill and needs money. If there are really too many people, let me step down."

"No, you lost a leg, your mother and son at home need you to take care of them, and your wife is also sick. How can I let you step down?"

These people pushed each other and quarreled.

Gan Fanren didn't expect that he just counted the number of people and everyone misunderstood him.

He stood up in a hurry to dissuade them: "You all misunderstood. I don't think there are too many people, but too few. Thirty people are not enough."

"To be honest, we are new here and need a lot of manpower. We also have two shops, and these two shops also need people to guard them."

"At least twenty more people are needed."

Li Yunfeng heard that Gan Fanren still needed people, and he couldn't hide his smile.

"I'll go and inform the brothers now."

"It's too late today. Bring them with you tomorrow."

Li Yunfeng nodded excitedly and left with his brothers.

Seeing that the people had left, Su Nanxing said, "The weather has been bad these days, and few people come to see me for medical treatment. If they don't mind, I can help them."

She couldn't do anything about those who had already been amputated, but for those who were ill like Li Yunfeng, there was still a chance that they could be saved.

The next morning, Li Yunfeng and his brothers stood at the door in unison.

They were not sure when the Gan family would get up, so they didn't dare to knock on the door, and just stood at the door in a daze.

When the Hong family came to get the cloth, they were startled, thinking that someone was looking for revenge.

After a long explanation, Mrs. Hong brought everyone into the house.

Gan Fanren carefully asked for everyone's name and recorded their strengths and advantages.

Li Yunfeng was the most knowledgeable and was appointed as the housekeeper by Gan Fanren. Those

who could run fast were responsible for passing messages.

Those who could read were sent by Gan Fanren to be doormen.

Gan Fanren divided these people into teams, patrolling every half an incense stick and changing shifts every four hours.

The mansion was suddenly fully staffed.

Gan Fanren transferred two more people to Huiyan Pavilion to guard and maintain order.

He also selected the one with the best martial arts to be responsible for teaching everyone martial arts, and all the men in the mansion had to learn.

In this way, everyone had a job.

Gan Fanren knew that they were short of money, so he advanced them half a month's money and told them that they could go to the two doctors in the mansion to help them see the doctor.

The two doctors did not charge for the consultation, but they still had to pay for the medicine.
