Chapters 632 and 633. Persuasion
“I’m afraid that won’t work,” Yunni said with a wry smile. “They’ve been clamoring to return to the countryside, but they can’t stand the land after only a short time of farming. It’s just that they have family ties now. Otherwise, these people would probably be going to wander the world alone again.”

Gu Kaiyuan said with a hint of mischief, "That's fine too, after all, they're in their prime right now."

Yunni, "Are you going to venture into the world with your family?"

"Uh! Never mind what I said. How skilled are they? Since they like to travel around so much, why don't they find a job with a security escort agency?"

This way, we can fulfill their wishes and earn money at the same time. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?
"Even a security escort agency needs to find people they know well," Yunni had thought about setting up a security escort agency before, but they were used to being free and independent, and it was really not suitable for them to have to put up with other people's opinions, nor could they flatter others for a single business deal, so the idea never came to fruition.

"Newly recruited bodyguards face many restrictions."

Moreover, all the carriages and horses along the way would need to be taken care of, and my brother didn't have that kind of patience.

When escorting Gu Kaiyuan and the others, it was agreed beforehand that they would only provide protection along the way and would not interfere in anything else.

This kind of work is the easiest for them; as long as they go out and act as henchmen whenever something happens, it's relatively easy.

Even if there is a danger to their lives, it is commonplace for them. After all, if they are unlucky enough to perish halfway down the path they have chosen, it is a kind of relief.

“It’s not easy for anyone,” after all, everyone can choose their own life, but they have to pay a certain price. Gu Kaiyuan didn’t comment. “Don’t beat around the bush with me. We’ve been brothers for over ten years. What are you thinking?”

Yunni said, "I think our young lady has a lot of adventurous spirit..."

"Don't even think about it. You know the people around her. I've trained them all since they were young. I wouldn't dare use people I'm not familiar with."

Gu Kaiyuan didn't let him continue; he didn't want to lose even the last brotherhood.

Yunni quickly waved his hand. Of course he knew how much Gu Kaiyuan valued this daughter. Even if someone was someone he had trained, Gu Kaiyuan would keep them by his side for a period of time to observe them before daring to let them stay with Gu Xingyang.

"I wouldn't dare to have such a wishful thought. I was just thinking that now that Miss is older, she must need to do some things, so how about having these people act as her pawns?"

"You're willing to part with them? Those are your brothers who have risked their lives for you."

Yunni said, "Although they are quite old, they still like adventure and won't stay in one place. The young lady follows you to the sea every day and likes to seize islands. This kind of work is quite suitable for my brothers. If there is a suitable place, they can also settle their families there, so that they won't have any disloyal intentions."

This sea area can now be said to be the domain of the Gu family, and most of the ships belong to the Gu family. As long as they are willing to work hard, those people can always find a way to make a living.

He's on the island now, with family and children, and he's trained so many disciples and grand-disciples. He hasn't wasted his skills, so his life has been worthwhile.

“That’s a good idea,” Gu Kaiyuan said, having no objection to settling the people out to sea. They were short-staffed anyway, and with his daughter’s antics, things were likely to get even more lively. “I’ll talk to Xingyang about it later and see how she arranges things.”

The two didn't elaborate, since these weren't people they had personally trained; they could only be treated like the hired boatmen.

Yunni said that this was already very good, and that she would write to them later to invite them over.

Gu Kaiyuan then patted him on the shoulder, "You've been holed up in this place for ten years, don't you want to go out and see the world?"

Yunni glanced at him and said, "I know what you and Miss are up to. Don't worry, I'm not moving. Otherwise, I'll have to be your slave again."

A deserted island going from nothing to self-sufficiency is not something that can be achieved with a few words; he has a deep understanding of the hardships involved.

Having finally transformed a deserted island into the home of her dreams, Yunni felt that this was enough, and her life had been worthwhile. She didn't want to fall into an even bigger pit.

Don't you want to hear what kind of place that is?

"It's just another deserted island," the father and daughter had done their share of trouble over the years, owning countless deserted islands and sending people to manage them. Those people had even come to learn from them, so what was there to be curious about? "This island is different. Do you remember those Japanese pirates who used to roam here?"

How could Yunni not remember? He had put in a lot of effort to deal with those people, and the first job he trained was to target these gangs.

Those people were dealt with quite a bit, and they became afraid afterward, so they didn't dare to come this way again.

"Did it flow again and spread to other places? If it's because of this, I can step in."

Anyway, I don't have a good impression of these people. They always think about getting something for nothing, and they never learn from their mistakes. They always want to provoke me. It's only in the last two years that they've quieted down a bit because they've been beaten up.

But everyone knows that given the despicable nature of this race, this is only a temporary retreat. If they show any signs of weakness in the future, these bastards will pounce on them again.

“They won’t have such an opportunity again,” Gu Kaiyuan smiled meaningfully. “We accidentally destroyed their stronghold this time, which is why it took so long.”

Yunni, "...What's that place like?"

"The place is still quite large. You are the best at training people. We want you to go and train those people well so that they can contribute to our business."

"Discipline those Japanese?" Yunni asked with some disdain. "What's there to 'discipline'? They're not of our kind, so why not just deal with them directly?"

“No matter what, it’s still manpower. Such a large island needs some cattle and horses. They’ll definitely be more comfortable using them than those cattle and horses.” Gu Kaiyuan had a compassionate look on his face. “Not everyone is irredeemably evil. We should give them a chance.”

"You would be so kind?" Yunni didn't believe this explanation. Who was it that always eliminated the root of the problem?

"I think you're only after their labor."

Gu Kaiyuan gave a thumbs up, "Over the years, although I have found many orphans and bought many slaves, I have not dared to make too much of a fuss. Now, a lot of manpower has been invested in each place. Such a large island needs even more people, so it is better to make use of waste."

"Didn't you ever think that they might retaliate one day? Be careful, you might have a wolf in your back."

Gu Kaiyuan was full of confidence: "They can't make a fuss. If they want to live a good life, they have to work hard for me."

"What we lack now is someone to tame them, and I'm counting on you to take charge of things for me in the past." Gu Kaiyuan persuaded him once again.

The new book is out! If you're interested, you can add it to your favorites. I guarantee you'll have plenty of time to read it.
