Luo Li really talked about what Li Shimin expected: "In fact, although I and those comrades had to move to Shandong, in fact, there are not many people who are really capable in it, and they are willing to farm and be reclusive people. Childe promised Luo to move them back to Kansai. Then you only need to give enough silver, and it is not difficult to recruit thirty or fifty good players from it. These characters are all martial arts six ranks, elites who are proficient in battle formations, and there are even four five ranks. ”

There was a bit of regret in his words, if he hadn't been implicated by his predecessor, his comrades should have a place in the army.

When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes also lit up slightly, he believed that Luo Li would not lie, he didn't expect that He Ruobi's pro-army in the past would have such a high quality.

The number of thirty or fifty people is just right. Beyond this amount, he will have to worry about whose part it is.

Although he is confident that he can bring these old He family members back to their hearts, they can't be unguarded.

And with these elites as the backbone, then this salt protection team, with only one or two strong people who can handle it, is enough to deal with any situation.

In fact, they are all very suitable, Li Xin and Shi Rakshasa and others are very suitable, but they all have all kinds of help, and he can't send these people to the relationship.

"The master in charge actually has a very suitable candidate. In the past, the personal soldiers of the right military general were divided into two brigades, one of which was commanded by me, and the commander of the other brigade, named Zhang Beidou, was not under my strength in the past. Even now, it is the pinnacle of the handsome level of cultivation to the second grade. Over the years, my colleagues have been able to settle down in Shandong thanks to him. ”

However, Luo Li's voice was not confident: "But this person is different from me, he really wants to return to the Spring Forest." If Childe wants to invite him out, it may not be easy. At most, I can only invite him to Luoyang and meet with you, Gongzi. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "If you can have such a person's effect, it is not to be missed, even if Mr. Luo invites him." ”

As soon as he said this, silence returned to his ears. Li Shimin didn't care either, and continued to walk in the direction of the black market.

Although Luo Li had already given him a candidate, Li Shimin still did not give up his plan to go to the black market and look for subordinates.

It would be good if this Zhang Beidou could be invited, but this one alone is estimated to be able to help him deter those salt dealers. But if he can't come, he can't help but plan for the worst.

What's more, he has more than enough financial resources now, even if he hires one or two more, it is not a big deal.

The one million guan that Zhang Zhongjian lent him specified that part of it was for recruiting manpower and part of it was for equipping combat equipment with ink armor.

But before, Li Shimin had already taken twenty sets of general-level battle armor and six sets of handsome-level battle armor from Shi Huan's treasure land. These armor tools only need to be slightly modified by him and transformed into a new look, and they can be used to recruit those second- and third-grade powerhouses. It just saved him the trouble of selling these armor tools.

This time, his luck was also very good, and after a turn in the black market, there were two more second-class products around him.

One is named Wang Nuozhen, and the gangster is called the 'eight-armed fire ape', and the other is named Wei Zhi, and the bandit is called the 'fox on the grass'——

Of course, these two second-class products cannot be compared with Shi Rakshasa Yang Yun and others. These two are only cultivating the martial arts of the rivers and lakes that are easy to practice, but the latter two are battlefield generals with long qi and solid foundations.

The first two are very difficult to fight with one enemy and one hundred, but the latter two can be very easy, entering and exiting in the thousand-person army formation.

Like the so-called second products like Wang Nuozhen and Wei Zhi, the third product of the Rakshasa can fight three at a time.

In short, it is the difference between ordinary and elite,

Therefore, Li Shimin always thought that he was lucky, and he casually went to the black market and met a character like Shi Rakshasa.

However, with the strength of these two, they can barely meet his requirements.

The key is to be innocent, reliable enough, young enough, and not tied to family background.

These two have worked for a number of customers, and have excellent resumes and 'reputation' - in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are notorious.

Their employers didn't end up very well. But after all, these two people have done their best, and every time they have fulfilled their duty to worship, they have never betrayed their employers, and Li Shimin values this point.

So even if these two people, in addition to a handsome ink armor, offered a high price of 15,000 yuan, Li Shimin didn't bargain much, and directly agreed.

It is necessary to know that the annual salary of the Rakshasa is only 20,000 guan, and Yang Yun, who has his own ink armor and cultivates to the second grade, only has an annual salary of 40,000 guan.

With these two people and the rest of the manpower, Li Shimin is confident that he will be ready within a month. And the next thing is distribution, but this is a bit troublesome, and he is going to go back and plan carefully.

However, just before leaving this human city, Li Shimin suddenly felt a feeling in his heart and looked at a building ship on the left.

On the first floor over there, an auction is going on, and a large crowd of people is gathered. At this time, there was an uproar, coming from within.

Li Shimin hesitated for a while, but still walked over with everyone. After a while, he saw a huge figure standing on the high platform in the center.

It is at least one zhang tall (23.5 cm in Sui ruler), and his whole body is the color of black carbon, only in his eyes is a little white. The body is thick and the muscles are knotted, and it looks like an iron tower.

"This is Kunlun Nu, also known as the Negro, it is said to be from Xiniu Hezhou! This is really not an ordinary high, it is like the Yaksha devil in the Buddhist scriptures, only two horns are missing. This time, the poor monk can be regarded as insight—"

By Li Shimin's side, not only was Shi Luoshasa amazed, but Yang Yun also quietly stood on tiptoe, staring carefully at this Kunlun slave up and down.

At this time, many people in the ship have begun to quote. From the first 1,000 guan, it quickly rose to 3,000 guan, until 3,500 guan, and the surrounding quotations thinned out.

Li Shimin carefully studied the joints and hands and feet of this person, and after a while, he suddenly spoke: "Ten thousand! This Kunlun slave, I want it." ”

His voice was not high, but it contained the true element, so it could be heard clearly throughout the floor. After that, everyone looked at it in amazement.

This Kunlun slave is very tall and strong, and it looks very smart, not as sluggish as other Kunlun slaves, and it can be cultivated a little in the future and used to care for the family.

But the price of 10,000 yuan is still too high!

Even Yang Yun looked over puzzled: "What are you buying him for?"

Li Shimin smiled slightly: "The age of this Kunlun slave may be less than sixteen. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked and looked at the stage again.

At only sixteen years old, how could he have such a tall stature, how could he have such a strong body? This is simply a fantasy!

However, if it is really like Li Shimin's eyes, then this Kunlun slave still has the potential. The price of 10,000 is not too expensive.

At this time, Li Shimin looked at a bluestone pendant on the neck of the Kunlun slave thoughtfully.

The reason why he bought this person is naturally not only because of his talent, but also because of this bluestone pendant. His induction just now originated from this, and it was spiritual power and true element, and the dual-frequency tremor.

may be precisely because of this, Yang Yun and Shi Rakshasa and others will be completely unaware. This also made Li Shimin curious, what kind of foreign object is it, with such a miraculous ability.

The steward of the building ship quickly sent Kunlun Nu to Li Shimin.

And by the time the group left the black market, the chains on the black boy's body had been completely lifted. The latter had no intention of running away, so he followed Li Shimin's side, looking at the surrounding street scene with a novel and fearful gaze.

The reason why Kunlun Nu became popular in Dasui is because of this. Far from home, and in a good place, there is no other way to go except to cling to the Lord's house, and it is far more faithful and reliable than a slave from other sources. Therefore, those merchants on the Silk Road also liked to bring Kunlun slaves from the Western Regions to the Great Sui for sale. A sturdy Kunlun slave can often get more than ten times the price.

After returning to Beppu, Li Shimin saw a middle-aged man in his thirties in the front hall here, looking out of the window.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he strode forward: "When did Mao Yue come? I don't know if I'm okay lately?"

The person in front of him is none other than Tang Jian.

"It's been less than an hour. ”

The latter also looked back with a smile, and a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes: "I heard Ling Zun say that you have seen through the red dust recently and are ready to escape from the world?"

"It's just a fool of people if there's nothing to do. ”

Li Shimin's face did not change, and he did not mean to be ashamed at all: "It's just that there are some things that need to be dealt with recently, so I will return to the palace flawless for the time being." ”

"I see!"

But Tang Jian's expression became more and more solemn: "Could it be that Pilu covers you, or do you want to seek justice for the third brother?"

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately put away all his emotions on his face, and looked at Tang Jian quietly: "I asked you to help, and I thought you wouldn't ask the reason." ”

"Originally, I didn't, but your mother specifically told me when I came over. ”

Tang Jian sighed: "The so-called knowing son is Mo Ruo's father, but your family is upside down." Ling Zun gave me a pure entrustment, saying that after letting me come, I should persuade you more and let go of the idea of abandoning the world. But your mother has seen through your mind. ”

But when he said this, Tang Jian said solemnly: "Say, what is there that you want to use me, as long as it is not related to the family, no matter what, I will help you." ”

Li Shimin smiled dumbly, and warmth grew in his heart. However, he didn't elaborate on the reason for the time being, but first asked the subordinates from the other courtyard to come over and re-serve tea for them.

It wasn't until the two of them sat down in the guest seat that Li Shimin asked, "I don't know Shiro, do you know anything about the private salt of Kansai and Xijing?"
