In fact, he had discovered this problem a long time ago, but out of trust in Zhao Taohua, he always let Zhao Taohua do whatever she wanted.
Hearing this, Zhao Taohua smiled and said, "No one's guard is worse than mine. It will only be intimidating if it's on my body. We won't only deliver goods to the Yuan family in the future, we will also deliver to other families."
That being said, but in fact, it was all Zhao Taohua's private work.
She wanted to teach the young men in the village martial arts, so that they could learn archery, fighting, and defense at the earliest. If there was chaos in the future, there would be banditry everywhere.
If we can't defeat the rebels, we can just defeat the bandits. It's all about preparing for the worst.
Even if it doesn't happen in the future, if the Zhao family wants to continue their business with the state government, they can always rely on their own armed forces.
Zhao Sanzhu still felt that his third sister was overthinking it, but he did not refute it.
After returning to the village, Zhao Taohua had already told Song Lizheng about this matter. Unexpectedly, Song Lizheng acted so quickly and called a meeting of all the strong young men in the village that night.
"...The Zhao family hired a bodyguard who is skilled in martial arts. He is proficient in swordplay, archery, chess, and whip techniques. Young men in our village who want to learn martial arts can come to the small square every morning. If they are chosen by the bodyguard, they can start their training. Anyone who comes to learn martial arts will receive a monthly subsidy of one tael of silver. If they are successful, they will become the captain of the village's guards to run businesses. The captain of the guard will receive a salary of one or two taels of silver per month, and the soldiers under him will receive five taels of silver per month. There are limited places, so anyone who wants to come can come, and those who don't want to come will not be forced. After all, farming is also an honor. The last one is limited to those who have signed the contract. Everyone who understands will understand."
Those who understand will understand. Several people in the village broke down on the spot, and the first one to break down was always Zhang Dayong and his cousin Liu Xiaoer.
The Ma family's defense was also broken, but the reason for their breakdown was not that they could not practice martial arts, but that they felt sad about losing a 10,000 yuan subsidy.
"I'm such a smart and strong man, and they don't want me," Zhang Dayong said cynically. "They will regret it."
Someone nearby cautiously reminded him, "It's not that they don't want you, it's that you don't want to buy shares. But now that you have a big business, you definitely won't be interested in this one-cent subsidy."
After saying this, everyone around him laughed secretly.
Zhang Dayong was so angry that he almost died.
Liu Xiaoer has recently married, and his wife is about to come into the house. He is very busy and doesn't care too much. What his family cares about now is the fat grandson who is about to come.
His mother, Wang Sanya, would brag to everyone that her daughter-in-law had a round waist and a plump butt, and that she was the one who could give birth to a fat grandson.
"...Big Fatty, what a real guy! Those shares are invisible and intangible, don't let me lie to you in the end."
“Yes, yes, yes…”
The villagers were too lazy to argue with her, so they just took her at her word.
On this day, Hexi Village was once again filled with people eager to get ready and unable to sleep. When the news got out, all the young people in the village were excited. After all, which young man didn't have a dream of learning martial arts?
There is a subsidy of one cent for practicing martial arts. Where in the world is there such a thing?
If you are selected into the guard team, your monthly salary will increase even more.
Even if I am not selected, it is still a good idea to use the subsidy to keep fit.
The older people, however, felt that the Zhao family was training the young people in the village in this way. When the business grew bigger, they would all be direct descendants of the Zhao family. How could there be less support?
It was like a big ship, which, under Zhao Taohua's planning, took shape little by little, became solidified little by little, and sailed towards the vast sea of stars she wanted to go to.
The second day.
Zhao Sanzhu invited the escort master early in the morning and took him to the small square in the village. As soon as he came in, he saw dozens of young men. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that these ten taels of silver were not worth much.
"Don't worry, sir. You only need to select ten promising candidates and focus on their development. For the rest, teach them some basic skills so that they can be selected in the future."
Zhao Sanzhu comforted.
The escort nodded. Over there, Zhao Taohua had already prepared the contract. After both parties reviewed it and confirmed that there was no problem, they signed it.
