Chapter 814 Escort Agency Branch

He picked up the small stool and moved to the fire next to him.

It’s better to eat alone.

The movement was so fast that it moved in the blink of an eye, and no one had time to react.

Hu Zi suppressed his laughter and moved the meat and wine in front of her towards him, "Master, take your time to eat."

Zhou Guo nodded, "You should sit down and eat too. It will be more lively when two of us eat together."

Hu Zi said happily, "Okay."

Zhou Guo ate the roasted lamb slowly, sipped the chicken noodle soup, and took a sip of the chicken soup. Only after he swallowed the steaming hot noodle soup did he feel like he was alive again. It was so comfortable.

After eating a big pot of noodles with soup, I felt half full.

They started eating the roasted lamb. Hu Zi and I each took a dagger and sliced ​​the meat.

Being able to eat these things in the wilderness on a snowy day is like living like a god.

Halfway through the meal, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Everyone became more excited. Although they were all rough people and had not read many books, this scene still made them happy from the bottom of their hearts. The slight cold was completely ignored by everyone.

Zhou Guo put on his hood, ate the hot roast lamb, drank a sip of wine, looked at the falling snowflakes, and felt that this trip was worth it.

The leftovers from the two roast lambs were packed up and taken home. They would be great to eat with wine in the evening.

Zhou Guo looked at the mansion in front of him. Two majestic stone lions stood on the left and right of the door. The flag of the Haoguo Escort Agency was large and wide, and very conspicuous.

He asked Hu Zi who was standing beside him, "How big is this mansion?"

Hu Zi said, "Fourth one in."

Zhou Guo stepped inside. "A house with four courtyards is not small, but if it is used as a security guard agency, I guess many places need to be modified. Let's go in and take a look."

Hu Zi said from behind: "I have changed some things, but I don't know if they are appropriate. You are here just to see what needs to be changed."

When Zhou Guo heard this, he felt that there was no need to read it. After looking through it, he realized that "the changes are all good. Let's just leave it as it is."

She later modified the Yunzhou escort agency in accordance with the old man's ideas, and it was very useful. This house was modified to be similar to the one in Yunzhou. Hu Zi should have done some homework.

The escort agency now has about twenty people, which is enough.

Zhou Guo said, "We still need to recruit a few escorts. If we can't recruit escorts, martial artists who know some boxing and kicking will do. There are only a few people in my family who know some boxing and kicking. Now there are branches in every prefecture. When the orders increase in the spring of next year, I'm afraid we will be too busy to handle them."

Hu Zi said: "Yes, I will go down and arrange it right away. It's not easy to find a bodyguard, but it's easy to find a martial artist."

These days, with so many people coming to the North, it's easy to find someone like this.

Zhou Guo stayed in the escort agency for three days.

During these three days, more than ten people came to the escort agency one after another, all of whom claimed to be former escorts and had been doing the job for decades.

Zhou Guo asked someone to go up and try. The best fighter in the escort agency was Hu Zi, followed by Dapang.

Among these more than ten people, only two can defeat Dapang, and no one can defeat Hu Zi.

The rest either have some mediocre skills or are just doing it.

Either he doesn't know any martial arts at all, or he has been in many fights before, and when he saw that the Guo Escort Agency was recruiting escorts and martial artists, he thought of taking advantage of the situation and giving it a try.

Among the more than ten people, only eight were qualified in the end. They were selected from the tallest ones among the short ones and were barely usable.

Among these eight people, only four of them had worked as bodyguards, and the one with the best skills was an old bodyguard.

The remaining three had done it but not for long. They had all been in martial arts schools before, and although they had not learned any powerful punches and kicks, they were already pretty good compared to ordinary people.

All eight of them stayed.

She said to Da Pang, "There is nothing important going on at the farm right now. Your brother Huzi can still stay here to help you for a while. He will have to go back to the farm in the spring. From now on, this semicolon will be handed over to you."

Big Fatty cheered up and said, "Master, I understand. I will do my best."

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I will transfer an old hand from the Yunzhou General Administration to help you manage it. When things are on track here, you have to go to the farm and replace your brother Huzi. He can't stay in the farm all the time. There are many things to do outside."

She still has too few people she can use.

The group of young men who had come to the village with Wu Jiang Huzi had learned to read for a few years, but now they had all been released by her and were being sent to work as shopkeepers in various shops in the provincial capital and county towns.

Once these shops are on track, capable people will have to be replaced, because she is short of people.

She plans to send Wu Jiang out next year. It's a bit of a waste of his talent for him to stay at home all the time. The family area will be handed over to Zhou Gu. Zhuangzi has been running for so many years and there are so many people in the family, so she thinks he can be fine.

By then, with him and Hu Zi outside, she would feel much more relaxed.

After hearing what Zhou Guo said, Dapang nodded happily. He was excited and happy to be in charge of such a large escort company alone.

The matter of the escort agency was settled, so she took the opportunity to go to Tanghe.

Now it is winter and the whole land has frozen so it is impossible to start work.

Everyone is staying at home for the winter.

Tang He also said: "We can only start construction after the spring thaw. Even if these water conservancy projects can be completed next year and put into use the year after, the land will not be improved until the year after that, and then we can grow crops."

Zhou Guo looked at the mountains and said, "I know. There is no rush to acquire these lands. The lands in Song County are large enough. If they can be put into use in the summer of next year, we can try to grow rice on the farm the year after, and we can start mass production the year after that. This is already fast."

It's really fast.

Tang He smiled and said, "If this happened to an ordinary person, I'm afraid they would scold me for being slow. I've spent a lot of money in the past few years."

After all, the initial investment is so huge, and it takes several years to see any results. No one has the courage to do so.

Zhou Guo smiled but said nothing. Most of the money she earned in the past few years was invested in it. Except for food, which was free, all other costs were materials and labor.

Fortunately, the labor force used were all refugees, so the cost was not that high, and the bulk of the cost was still on materials.

Once this thing is repaired, it can be used for decades. Although the materials used are not the best, they are not bad either.

She stayed in Chengding for about ten days, then went to Kang'an, and finally Huaiyang. Several escort agencies had already gotten on track.

Huaiyang even already has orders, and the new recruits are also good. With sufficient manpower and a good place, it makes no difference whether the escort agency has her or not.

It has been more than a month since I came out, so I am going back home.

When the old man heard that several of her cities had recruited escorts, he nodded and said, "Mo Da and Mo Er have both been working for decades. One person can manage an entire escort agency. Where did you put them?"

Zhou Guo said: "Kang An and Huai Yang, each in one place. I don't have many people at my disposal, so I must make full use of such talents."

He smiled and said, "Master, do you know any such people? Can you introduce two to me?"
