Zu Yuan was very efficient, bought a building in the city as an address, hired a group of employees, and the general firm was established, and then acquired the largest restaurant in Xunyang County-Wangjiang Building, and held a feast to entertain the major businessmen in Jiangzhou.

Then, as the acting Taishou, Li An issued a series of decrees, both soft and hard, acquired a large number of merchant ships in the name of General Firm, set up his own fleet, and constantly transported all kinds of goods and materials, and fully assisted Zhou Chao in building an iron workshop.

Although Li An is exercising too much power, after all, he is only a captain, and his influence is only in Xunyang County, so Xiao Yao decided to hype it up, bought a group of pens, and shaped Li An into a bandit hero in Jiangzhou, and also sent many people to various parts of Chen Guo to publicize, for a while, everyone in Jiangzhou knew Li An, a traffic star.

Previously, Father Li had the exploits of defending Jiangzhou, and now he had the merits of Li An to exterminate the Julong Gang, and the Li family became more and more famous in the entire Jiangzhou! In addition, the mysterious disappearance of Jiangzhou Thorn History, the counties and counties in various places have no leader, and in the end, of course, Li An's horse is the leader.

On the pretext of purging bandits and defending Jiangzhou, Li An, who was in full prestige, selected 1,000 elite soldiers from the defenders of various counties and counties, and set up a guard team that obeyed his orders.

In less than a month, the roof of the iron workshop in charge of Zhou Chao has not been built, and the stove has been lit and the production has begun, and all kinds of high-quality weapons such as knives, guns, swords, and halberds have been continuously created, Xiao Yao immediately handed over the weapons to the Gao Yuan guards, only by arming the guards, with soldiers in their hands, can the waist pole be hard, and now who in the counties of Jiangzhou dares not to listen to their own words!

Under the training of Gao Yuan and Father Li, the guards began to have the momentum of the tiger and wolf division when they practiced various tactics, and the strength of the army began to improve, Xiao Yao immediately carried out ideological education on the guards!

The army must be in their own hands, so Xiao Yao decided to borrow the bushido spirit of the Wa Kingdom to brainwash them, and regularly convene the soldiers of the army to attend classes, even Zu Yuan, and even old courtiers such as Zhou Chao and Li An have to participate.

On the surface, the spirit of bushido is described by many positive words, such as righteousness, bravery, benevolence, courtesy, sincerity, reputation, loyalty, and self-denial, but in fact, its core is loyalty to the master!

Xiao Yao extracted some teachings from the Confucian and Taoist systems, and then mixed together all kinds of poisonous chicken soup and various fallacies and heresies in modern times to establish a set of Xiao's ideological system, and then instilled it in everyone.

Let them think that the opportunity to get ahead now is given by themselves, as long as they follow themselves, they can have a bright future, glory and wealth are endless, and loyalty to the master is the supreme honor, and it is extremely glorious to be able to serve the master and even die!

After a few classes, Zhou Chao and Gaoyuan, the two younger brothers who followed Xiao Yao at the earliest, were even more completely convinced, and they were glad that they were on the right team and with the right lord!

Unexpectedly, this young master, at a young age, not only knows all kinds of knowledge well, knows astronomy and geography, but now also shows unparalleled skills in controlling people.

In the Li family's secret room, several core members of the Xiao Group were in a meeting, and Zhou Chao said with a respectful face: "Young Master, I have recorded everything you said according to your instructions and sorted out a set of doctrines. ”

"Okay, in the future, no matter whether the ironshop accepts apprentices, the academy accepts students, even the yamen, and the newly recruited soldiers of the guard must be familiar with this set of doctrines!" Xiao Yao became more and more confident.

Back then, the head of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Sect Master Hong, with an adapted Bible, laid down half of the Qing Dynasty, and now with this group of loyal subordinates, he will definitely occupy a place in this troubled world!

"Young master, there is news from Zu Yuan's eyes in Jinling, saying that the imperial court has officially appointed Li An as the Taishou of Xunyang County, and the holy decree is already on the way, I believe that Xiao Moke has played a lot of roles in this." After speaking, Zhou Chao smiled and made a big salute to Li An: "Congratulations to Li Taishou, Lord Li." ”

"I think it's all up to the young master's clever plan, the method called hype, which suddenly made my reputation in Jiangzhou soar, otherwise it would be impossible for me, a little captain, to be promoted to Taishou." Ang Lee patted his ass and gave the credit to Xiao Yao.

"Haha, the hype is to let you have public opinion, but it can't be without Xiao Moke's recommendation. After all, Li An is also half of his life-saving benefactor, and he also knows that I have a good relationship with Li An, and after accepting me as a righteous son, Li An can also be regarded as a person on his side, and when I go to Jinling, I will prepare a big gift for him. Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"However, for the post of Jiangzhou Assassin Shi, the imperial court sent the second prince, King Xing - Chen Shuling!" Zhou Chao continued.

"Chen Xu's second son? It seems that the imperial court still attaches great importance to Jiangzhou, and sent a prince over, what is the situation with this person? Xiao Yao asked.

"This son is sixteen years old, but he is deeply favored by the emperor, but he has a very poor relationship with the crown prince Chen Shubao, and it is rumored that he intends to compete for the throne, and the officials in the court are basically divided into two camps, often attacking each other." Zhou Chao reported the information that Zu Yuan inquired about.

"It's so exciting! It seems that we can take advantage of this person, what are the hobbies of this person? Xiao Yao thought of Langya Bang.

"It's not the same as what it is, it's young and old, and it's ruthless, and it's a troublesome person. Young master, the imperial court sent such a person to Jiangzhou, how should we deal with it? Zhou Chao asked.

"Now we definitely can't fall out with the imperial court, so for Chen Shuling, the king of Xing, we still have to be respectful, salute when we should salute, and be filial when we should be filial, and we must do what he likes, and slap him!" Xiao Yao commanded.

"If we slap him in such a flamboyant way, will he find out what we are trying to do? Will it offend the crown prince? Now the power of the prince is also very strong! Li An interjected.

"We have already offended the prince by killing the assassin Shi and Taishou, and Chen Shuling will be your top boss, if we want to achieve our goal in Jiangzhou, we must rely on him, the justifiable Jiangzhou assassin Shi!"

"Also, in the future, all our actions must be low-key, in order to sit firmly in the position of Taishou, Li An, you have to keep a distance from us, and the guards will also reduce their personnel, we must hide our strength and show the enemy weakness." Xiao Yao analyzed.

"What about the people who cut them off?" The head of the guard, Gao Yuan, asked.

"Let them join the general trading house, let Zu Yuan open more shops, what kind of restaurant and brothel, they need a lot of thugs to protect the home! In the future, we will act in the name of the general firm, and try to avoid getting involved with the official, so as not to arouse suspicion! Xiao Yao said.

"Yes, under the banner of the General Firm, we open various branches in various places, and then recruit troops, the General Firm is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people will be hired, and no one will doubt it." Zhou Chao nodded.

"How's the ironwork going? Can the stove burn glass treasures? Xiao Yao asked.

"The central furnace can continue to operate, the temperature is enough, and the other secondary furnaces are also almost built, didn't the young master say that he would no longer burn glass treasures? Will the reappearance of glass treasures arouse suspicion? Zhou Chao asked puzzled.

"It's just to burn one, no one should doubt it, isn't Chen Shuling coming? When the time comes, we'll give him a glass treasure, and I promise he'll impress us. Xiao Yao showed a treacherous smile, I am a loyal fan of Langya Bang.
