From the gate of heaven

Chapter 89 [Opening a bodyguard agency to recruit guards, the ambition of separatist regime]

Hearing that Lin Ze said that he wanted to open a gold bank so that he could live here and protect the gold and silver by the way, Xu Sheng immediately felt at ease.

No merit and no reward.

Since he is relying on his own ability to get treatment and arrange accommodation, then there is no problem.

"Ziyi, since you want to open a gold bank, you may not have enough guards."

"When I'm fine, I live in this shop that is about to become a gold bank, which can guarantee the safety of the shop, but once I go out for business or other things, then it's not very safe here. If the matter can't be resolved, I won't Let your wife and children live here."

At this time, Xu Sheng reminded Lin Ze.

Before accepting Zhao Cheng's commission to help transport coal, Xu Sheng's main job was as a bodyguard.

As a bodyguard master who relied on his own martial arts for a living, Xu Sheng had also come into contact with many escort jobs that either belonged to private individuals or belonged to banks.

He knew one thing deeply. If he wanted to open a gold bank, before thinking about how to make money, the first thing he needed to consider was the safety of his own principal.

Even though it is considered the heyday of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is still very common to rob banks of gold and banks.

Especially for those second- and third-rate Jianghu people, gold banks and money houses with a lot of money but not too many expert guards are like fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, they can be taken as they need.

If you want to open a gold bank, you can't do it without sufficient force to ensure the safety of funds.

According to the relationship these days, Xu Sheng knew the scale of influence under Lin Ze.

There are 20 mine guard teams that can be mobilized in the coal mine, and there are more than [-] young and strong guards under him. When there is nothing to do, Lin Ze will ask Shi Shanbao to send suitable servants to buy them.

These transferable guards, coupled with Lin Ze's own first-class martial arts, have a good relationship with the local parents and officials. It is no problem to be a local tyrant, but he is not qualified to open a gold bank.

Because it is impossible for Lin Ze to stay in the gold bank all the time like an earth-bound spirit, naturally he has no ability to deter secret thieves.

"This is not a big problem. I will continue to recruit more guards."

"Generally speaking, most of the first-class masters have their own territory or industry, and have a stable source of income. Most of these people will not take risks to do things that violate the law and discipline, so the ones that need to be guarded against are those second- and third-rate thieves. .”

"Put fifty guards in the gold bank, prepare extra weapons, bows, arrows, kerosene, fishing nets and other things to restrain the Jianghu people who are flying over the walls, and then tell the patrolling government soldiers to go to Yunyan Lane more. Basically, it can be guaranteed. Safety."

Lin Ze responded.

With the coal mine industry, it is much easier for Lin Ze to expand the scale of guards.

Select the miners who work hard on weekdays, love their families and respect the elderly, and then after simple wooing and buying, let Zhang Jiaquan teach and train them and then equip them with weapons, which is loyal and usable combat power.

Coupled with the high pension incentives, these guards will definitely rush forward when they encounter something.

After all, they have no worries, and even if they die in battle, Lin Ze, the master, will take care of their family's life and future.

"Since Ziyi has made a plan, then there is no need to worry."

Xu Sheng nodded.
-
At this time, I heard Lin Ze continue: "Brother Jingguan, since the topic is about the guards, there is one thing that needs to be prepared."

"Recently, those master craftsmen have thoroughly understood the construction information of the rail car, and are currently preparing the required manpower and materials to start building the rail car."

"It is estimated that by the end of this month, the rail car will be ready to be built."

"Once the rail car is successfully built, it is also necessary to establish a guard to guard it day and night to prevent it from being destroyed."

"At that time, you will be responsible for this matter. What do you think? If there is no special suggestion, then when I recruit guards for the Gold Bank this time, I will also recruit the guards to guard the rail cars."

"Forty miles of land, set up two warning points for each mile, and each warning point has two people. The area close to the coal mine and Fengping County does not need a warning point. There are 100 people here, and there are mobile patrols to support at any time. At least 50 people."

"The two groups of personnel rotate, and counting the replacement personnel and the guards that the Gold Bank needs here, then recruit 400 people. If there are more, the government will not be able to live with the face."

The principle of the rail car is very simple, and you can basically understand it at a glance, but it doesn't mean that the construction of this thing is not difficult at all.

Its technical difficulties are all reflected in the design.

How to design each section of track, what is the angle, and how to fit the actual terrain as much as possible, these brain-testing things are extremely time-consuming. It took more than 200 years of development from wooden tracks to modern railways in the main world before they finally matured.

And once the design is done, actually building it is simple.

With abundant manpower stacking, it can be completely built in ten days.

Lin Ze is not worried that someone will imitate and secretly learn the technology of railcars. This thing is completely blank in Da Zhou's side. Even if someone steals it, it will take a lot of time for professionals to study.

When others learn it, Lin Ze has already iterated the technology.

But such a sophisticated and profitable thing will inevitably attract the jealousy of others. Lin Ze is not afraid of others stealing, but it is completely predictable to sabotage secretly.

It is completely reasonable and necessary to set up a guard at this time.

In addition to protecting the industry, this guard will actually increase Lin Ze's power.
-
"I'm not familiar with the place where I was born in Fengping County. Ziyi will handle this matter together. Of course it couldn't be better."

"But if you want to make a suggestion, then I suggest setting up an escort agency."

Seeing Lin Ze looking at him curiously, Xu Sheng explained: "There is a limit to the number of guards in the private industry. The number of guards should not exceed 200-[-] according to actual needs. Ziyi and you can hire so many industries together." There are four to five hundred guards, and the Escort Bureau is not limited in number."

"As long as the salary can be paid, it is reasonable and legal to employ tens of thousands of people. For example, the Crescent Moon Bodyguard Bureau I was in before was opened by a brother of the same school. The number of bodyguards has reached more than [-]."

"After the Escort Agency is established, we can give priority to training these bodyguards. After the industry expands, we can directly send qualified bodyguards to serve as bodyguards."

There are two important reasons why the government does not limit the number of escorts.

The first is that the officers and soldiers have armor.

With the same weapon, fighting with armor and without armor is random killing.

Under the leadership of the school lieutenant Liu Pei, the [-] officers and soldiers in Fengping County did not have much pressure to fight [-] or even tens of thousands of unarmored civilians.

The reason is very simple, if you don't have armor, if the officers and soldiers slash you, you will be seriously injured, but if the officers and soldiers have armor, armed civilians will not break the defense at all when they slash with a knife.

No matter how many bodyguards there are, the government is not very afraid of gathering crowds to rebel.

The second is that there are well-known escort agencies these days, with a big background standing behind them.

Either the powerful officials of the current dynasty, or the local tyrants from various places, or the famous sects with outstanding martial arts.

There is an actual need for dart transport, and these escort agencies have their own backgrounds, so the government defaults to the existence of these escort agencies, and sometimes even asks well-connected escort agencies to help transport taxes, silver, etc.

Xu Sheng explained to Lin Ze the twists and turns of the existence of the Escort, and said: "Zi Yi, we are definitely not allowed to set up a new Escort, but we can act in the name of Mingyue Tower and take a The name of the Escort Agency of Yuezihao."

"I am a disciple of Mingyue Tower, so I am qualified to act like this. In addition, we have Senior Master Zhao as our backing. We only need to pay respects to Senior Master Zhao every year. Then this bodyguard agency is enough to secure a foothold in the border of Mingguang Prefecture."

"In the early stage, we can use darts to make money to maintain the operation of the dart bureau. After Ziyi's industry expands, you can directly use your own industry to raise dart masters."

In Xu Sheng's view, setting up an escort agency is beneficial and harmless.

The name above has been resolved.

As for bodyguard personnel, Lin Ze can solve the problem here, and can select trustworthy miners from coal mines to serve as bodyguards.

There are family members to check and balance these bodyguards, which minimizes the possibility of them running away with money.

Although these miners were not considered qualified bodyguards at the beginning, after two or three months of training, they could barely be used. After a few years of running the bodyguard agency, these miners could be turned into qualified bodyguards.

At that time, a bodyguard agency with thousands of strong bodyguards, a first-class master Lin Ze on the card, and a peerless master in the holy land of martial arts in the background, even if it is not a famous school, it will still be regarded as a powerful force among local powerful forces. The top category.

Besides, Lin Ze is still young, so he is only a first-class master.

After more than ten years, Lin Ze will become a top-notch master, then the strength of this bodyguard team will be a well-known sect.

He, Xu Sheng, can also rise to his prestige, which is much more face-saving than being a humble little guy in the holy land of martial arts.
-
Facing Xu Sheng's proposal, there are also various advantages he explained.

Lin Ze was a little moved, but he didn't agree immediately.

He began to weigh the pros and cons of this.

Lin Ze can't trust other people's bodyguards at all.

Especially the government of the Great Zhou court, Lin Ze couldn't trust it.

Because of the prosperous times, the folk customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty were quite simple, and the government was completely a representative of the moral depression. It was completely commonplace to be lazy and persecute the poor.

In the case of insufficient strength, the benefits displayed are too great, just like a child holding money to live in troubled times, it will only lead to a disaster of death.

But if you cultivate a bodyguard who knows the basics, then you can think about it.

"The benefits are obvious. Xu Sheng has made it very clear. He can mobilize many guard subordinates, which is enough to guarantee the safety and interests of his own industry. Even if the officials in charge of Fengping County change in the future, or the interests of the coal mine are exposed, You can also try to protect your own interests."

"The disadvantages are also obvious. Escorts have the possibility of stealing money and running away. After the benefits reach a certain level, family members and children are not enough to be a means of check and balance. If there is a chance to steal tens of millions of taels In the main world with higher quality, there are also some people who will abandon their wives and children and run away."

"Big deal, change places, resettle, have a lot of money in hand, no beautiful wife can be found, no matter how many children can be born again."

"What's more, this is a different world where the average quality of people is lower, they don't have much education, and they do things regardless of the consequences. I have to pay for it."

After thinking for a while, Lin Ze's brows eased.

Why did he think so much? The main world has higher technical means, but it has not completely eliminated the possibility of escorts running away with money. It is superfluous for him to think about how to solve this problem here.

"Anyway, I don't plan to rely on the Escort Bureau to make money. After the Escort Bureau is established, it will accept escorts for escort personnel and goods of general value, as well as the task of delivering letters to train the level of the bodyguards. It will not accept high-value ones, and it will fundamentally prevent bodyguards from taking money. If I run away, I may lose money."

"Compared to Escort's benchmarking escort company, this model is more like a security company."

"And when this security company is on the right track and all the bodyguards inside are attached, I can completely rely on the coal mine to start a blast furnace to start making steel, build an assembly line to produce guns and bullets, and establish a modern thermal weapon force."

"If there are thermal weapon guards around to protect, then put a satellite on top of the head and use radar to detect all high-speed mobile units. With thermal imaging sensing, the door can be opened in advance to avoid the beheading actions of peerless masters and celestial masters, and then look for them. Opportunity to retaliate against those who shot."

"Once even the masters of heaven and man can't do anything to me, I will be able to form a de facto separatist regime in Fengping County, and even the current Great Zhou court will recognize it with its nose."

"At that time, I will be able to do business generously and reap the benefits of this world, without having to be so cautious in everything like at this moment."

After making a decision, Lin Ze told Xu Sheng about his plan.

"It's not impossible to open an escort agency, but for the safety of the escorts, we don't accept high-value materials and precious metal escort missions. The main development direction is to train escorts to protect our own industries and important personnel."

"Because of this, in addition to male guards, we also need to recruit a group of female guards. You can choose some children with good martial arts talents to train from an early age."

"Do you have the kind of popular martial arts and matching prescriptions in Mingyue Tower that can be spread casually? It can be used to train these children at that time."

Hearing this, Xu Sheng frowned.

After thinking for a while, he stretched his brows and agreed with Lin Ze's decision: "Indeed, a newly opened bodyguard agency is not suitable for transporting too valuable property, let's start by protecting your own property and personnel, as for I need to ask Master Zhao for instructions on what you said, Ziyi."

"In the Sutra Pavilion of our Mingyue Building, there are some other martial arts and prescriptions collected by the predecessors of the past dynasties, which can be exchanged for the contributions of the teachers to expand their knowledge."

"However, I had no hope of being promoted to an inner disciple, so I exchanged all the contributions of the master's sect for money. If I need these to open an escort agency next time, I will need Master Zhao's help."

　I lay down until the morning, when I felt better, I went to sleep, woke up and continued to code.
