"Brother Guo asked us to join the army?"

A moment later, a death row prisoner spoke curiously.

Guo Ziyi shook her head and said, "No, it's not about joining the army. What I mean by mercenaries is not about joining the army. We are using money to do business, which is a special business. You can understand that whoever gives us money will help us fight."

Everyone looked at each other, and saw that they were confused, and said one after another: "Isn't this still a soldier to earn salary?"

Guo Ziyi was a little helpless and didn't know how to explain it for a while.

He thought for a long time and finally decided to start from the beginning, saying, "First of all, I'm sure that we are not in the army. Secondly, let me give you an example, for example, there is a place that is very messy and is full of bandits everywhere. One day, a bandit attacked and plundered the children of a wealthy family. This is called kidnapping, right?"

"After the bandits kidnapped the votes, they must ask the rich to redeem them. Generally speaking, they will ask for a high price, which is a tiger's big talk, and the rich will definitely feel sorry for them."

"It's our turn to play at this time."

"No matter how much the bandits are asking for, we only ask the rich family for half of it and have a certificate as a guarantee. We will definitely save the child. Then think about it, will the rich family agree or not?"

"Let me give another example, it's this very messy place. One day, a merchant wanted to transport a batch of goods, but the rampant bandits made him feel worried. If we appeared with a horizontal knife at this time, do you think that merchant would hire us?"

"Also, if the leader of a certain force is willing to give money, we can also help him charge forward and hire him for a long time. As long as there is a war, we will fight."

Guo Ziyi said this and asked everyone: "How is it, can you understand now?"

But everyone blinked, their faces all looked strange. Suddenly, one of them spoke in a low voice, with a tone obviously confused, and said, "Brother Guo, is this what you mean by mercenaries? Why do I sound so familiar with you? It doesn't seem too strange."

Li Guangbi next to him smiled and said happily: "It's not just that it's not unusual, it's just common. I understand. It turns out that mercenaries are such a trick. The so-called money to help people grab their children is something that people often do in the Green Forest? Or the protection caravans go to a certain place. This is obviously a business run by the escort agency, and helping people fight after collecting money. To put it bluntly, it's recruiting soldiers from a certain force."

"The mercenary that Brother Guo mentioned seems quite scary, but after careful consideration, you will find that it is a combination of multiple businesses. Either they are guarding people's houses, or they are helping people to protect their bodies. As for helping people fight, the military system of the Tang Dynasty has long become a recruiting system."

"Recruiting soldiers, recruiting soldiers, giving money is called recruiting soldiers. When I didn't give money in the past, it was called "the government soldiers who were slaughtering the land..."

When everyone heard what he said, they all understood and laughed: "So that's the case. Brother Guo is really smart. At most, we can only think of doing one thing, but Brother Guo combines many businesses. Hahaha, it's very good. Let's listen to Brother Guo and become mercenaries together."

Guo Ziyi looked at everyone and wanted to talk to everyone again, but when the words were about to come, he suddenly chose to give up.

Because he had realized that mercenaries seemed to be really as Li Guangbi said in this era, and they sounded very novel, but in fact they were combining certain industries together.

But there is one thing Guo Ziyi didn't tell you in detail. In fact, his real intention was not like this. Hiring a mercenary was just an introduction. What he really wanted to do was to take root in a certain place.

Only after taking root can you manage other things, slowly accumulate money, quietly expand your strength, and wait until you have money, you can do a bigger deal.

As for what kind of transaction?

Is there still a question to ask about the chaos in this world?

The Tang Dynasty had obviously reached a declining situation, and the Anshi Rebellion seemed to have occurred in this era. Although Guo Ziyi was not very familiar with history, he could vaguely remember that he had himself in history.

Guo Ziyi in history is definitely not him, but he has now become Guo Ziyi.

He traveled to others but did not know their life, so he could only follow his own path and prepare to use the thinking of future generations to rise as soon as possible.

What kind of future generation thinking is it?

First, narrow your head, develop secretly, accumulate grain, and become king. Find a small place to operate quietly, and slowly surround the city in the countryside.

After becoming bigger and stronger, what you want to do can be determined according to the current situation. Either you get a military governor, master the land and become a local emperor, or help the Tang Dynasty, and quell the rebellion during the Anshi Rebellion...

In short, there is a lot of room for choice, and it is definitely not as powerless as it is now.

He is naturally reckless and easily impulsive in doing things, but he is not a fool. Instead, he always thinks he is very smart.

...

At this time, the moonlight was west, and it was obviously the second half of the night. Guo Ziyi put away his sword and looked at everyone.

Everyone knew that this was the meaning of departure, so they hurriedly put their knives into the sheath, but they didn't know where to go, and they were still confused.

"Go to Shandong, it's the most suitable place for us." Guo Ziyi's tone was very firm, as if he had already been confident.

In fact, it is because his hometown is in Shandong, so he is most familiar with that place.

However, everyone was puzzled, as if they had never heard of Shandong, and they said one after another: "Shandong? Where is that place?"

Guo Ziyi was slightly stunned, knowing that she must have made another common sense mistake.

Fortunately, Li Guangbi was born into a general and had a sense of all parts of the world. He said, "Narrow to the Jianghuai River and east of Wushan Mountain, there are large plains with twelve prefectures. The Shandong that Brother Guo mentioned should be this place."

Guo Ziyi learned a little more, but on the surface she was silent.

But everyone couldn't help asking again and said curiously: "Why do you want to go to Shandong? Is there something unique there?"

This time, Li Guangbi was still rushing to speak and said proudly: "I can explain this to you without Brother Guo's explanation. If we are sure to be a mercenary, that place in Shandong is really the most suitable one."

"Why?" everyone continued to ask.

Li Guangbi stretched out two fingers and said in a concise manner: "It's very simple, two words, one is poverty and the other is chaos."

Everyone said 'oh', their faces suddenly realized, and they all opened their mouths and smiled, "It's indeed a good place, it's indeed a good place."

The place where you settle is settled.

However, although the goal has been set, it is not possible to reach it just by saying that the journey from Chang'an to Shandong is at least 2,000 miles. In this era, we rely on our feet to travel, and at least twenty or thirty days will take.

And it must be a situation where there is enough money, so there is no need to worry about food and drink on the road. However, Guo Ziyi and the others have no money. Everyone has cleaner in their pockets than their faces.

So I can only leave first and then think of a solution on the way.

Under the moonlight, everyone finally set off, but this time they didn't dare to walk the official road again, but chose a small road to go east.

Fortunately, they are both physically strong and can walk quickly even if they choose a small path, so they almost never stop along the way, and they walked fifty or sixty miles in the middle of the night.

At this time, the first trouble came.

Hungry!

Everyone was very hungry.

Although I ate ten pancakes last night, I had consumed them after the war. After the fight, I not only did not eat, but I ran the road for a night...

Even if it was a stubborn body, I couldn't stand it anymore.

...

"Brother Guo, we have to think of some solutions."

Li Guangbi was the first to speak, his face looked very worried, and said, "Shandong is very far away, at least two thousand miles away. If we want to arrive, we must think of a way to fill our stomachs. If we are hungry, we cannot go too far. I feel like I can't walk anymore, and my stomach is thundering all the time."

Guo Ziyi stopped and nodded and said, "I have to think of a way, so I can't keep going like this. I've only walked dozens of miles and everyone can't hold on."

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, turned to look at Pugu Wyo and asked, "What method did you use to come to Chang'an from Tiel?"

Pugu Huaien reached out and pointed to his pocket, sighed, "I was different at that time, I was in trouble at that time."

Guo Ziyi turned around and said, "I didn't ask."

Everyone continued to worry.

After a long time, a death row prisoner spoke out and suggested: "Why should we find a wealthy family who is unkind and borrow money from him?"

Everyone was obviously moved, but Guo Ziyi shouted and said angrily: "You are not lending this, you are going to rob. I have told you that you can't be a thief even if you starve to death. If you have no bottom line in life, then it's better to be a beast."

With a sudden shout, he suddenly raised his foot and actually left the path, headed towards the direction of the official road, and said loudly: "I'm here to find a way to get money, you don't need to worry anymore. Since I said I would take you to Shandong, I won't let you starve to death on the road."

"But let me rob, I, Guo Ziyi, will never do this. A real man is born between heaven and earth, and does something, and does not. If you think I am not worth following, just part ways with me."

"Damn it, isn't it just money? They are all people with hands and feet. Can living people suffocate to death?"

There were endless shouts of shouting, and everyone was scolded to shame and bowed their heads.

Li Guangbi glanced at everyone and suddenly left the path. He quickly caught up with Guo Ziyi and asked in a low voice: "Brother Guo, how are you going to get the money?"

Guo Ziyi was about to answer, but found that everyone behind him had also left the path. Obviously, everyone did not intend to part ways, but chose to continue to follow him.

This made Guo Ziyi very pleased, and he couldn't help but smile on his face. So he stood there and waited a little until everyone arrived. He said, "I'm going to squat in the official road, wait for the passing caravans, and speak to them at that time, and make money with dignity."

uh-huh!

Then, make money with dignified!

As soon as Guo Ziyi said this, everyone looked strange.

Squatting on the official road?

Waiting for the caravan?

No matter how you hear this, you will feel a little wrong, and it clearly exudes a strong and rude atmosphere.

It happened that a death row prisoner among the people had been hanging in the green forest. He subconsciously remembered what he was best at before and couldn't help but grin and said, "It turns out that he is blocking the road. This is my secret skill."

Guo Ziyi was furious and said, "I said I'm just making money. Who dares to rob the road and try it?"

The person who spoke just now shrank his neck and said embarrassedly: "If you don't do this, which caravan is willing to give us money?"

"Do you understand the dart guard?" Guo Ziyi glared and glared: "Let's go and protect the dart guard for the caravan."

"What if people don't want to give protection?"

"Don't want to? Hahaha!"

Guo Ziyi smiled and suddenly pulled out the horizontal knife.

"No matter whether they want it or not, I will just pull out my sword and chop it. If there is a tree, cut down the tree. If there is no tree, cut down the stone. After showing his bravery, he will stab the sword to the ground. At that time, I will only ask the caravan one word, will he use such a guard?"

"Hahahaha, tell me, is such a sincere way to make money? "

Everyone looked at each other in front of each other, then gave thumbs up together.

Brother Guo’s method of attracting business is so fuckingly upright.
