Mao Wenlong finally accepted Yuzhong's surrender, and there were 600 people who followed him, all of whom were young and middle-aged. Mao Wenlong directly ordered two steamed buns per person, and promised to wait until they returned to Ye County to let them all have a full meal.

The small favor attracted bursts of cheers, especially Yuzhong's son Yu Wei, this honest man was full of food when he heard it, and even if he swore that he would be loyal to Mao Wenlong in the future, he would never have two hearts.

Everyone finished eating steamed buns in laughter, and then immediately rushed to Nameless Town.

Yuzhong heard that Mao Wenlong was going there to recruit troops, and he, the head of the land, should ask for help, saying that he would arrange it, and he could recruit the most people with the least amount of food.

Seeing that Yuzhong said so confidently, Mao Wenlong delegated power to him without giving in, and promised that there would be many rewards after the deed.

This made Yuzhong very happy, and he didn't expect Mao Wenlong to be such a good person. This is completely similar to his previous boss, and there is no comparison at all.

In an instant, Yu Zhongren's loyalty to Mao Wenlong increased a lot. But Mao Wenlong didn't know it at all, after all, what he did just now was just an ordinary thing.

The distance of several miles, under the rapid march of the people, took only a little more than two hours to arrive.

The predecessor of Nameless Town was actually just a post station, and since Chongzhen cut down many post stations, this place has been abandoned. Originally, the post official here was reluctant to leave, so he changed this place into an inn.

With the advantage that this place is not far from Kaifeng City, the inn's business is also booming, and later it slowly gathered popularity. Some desperate hungry people began to stay here to earn a living, and in less than a year, a large number of people gathered here.

Although the population of Nameless Town is large, most of them are mobile, and they are also some ordinary people or Jianghu men who can't survive here to find money owners and a place to eat.

Although this place is called a town, there is only one street less than 200 meters away, and the thatched huts along the street are hung with signboards of post inns. Obviously, these are the houses where the inn was used for its guests.

The houses on both sides of the street were standing or sitting in front of them, crowded with yellow-faced and thin-skinned people, all of whom looked wilted and wanted to die. With empty eyes, he shrunk under the eaves in confusion to avoid the cool breeze of his habits.

The arrival of Mao Wenlong and his party immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the entire street. A gold lord like this has not been seen in Nameless Town for nearly a month.

Yuzhong led the way in front and led everyone towards the post station, and he explained to Mao Wenlong: "These people who are guarding the street are here to find work, as long as they can take care of their food and clothing, even if they are asked to kill people and set fires." And it is often an important source of manpower for small bandits, or financial owners who are in urgent need of someone to do things. ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and snorted lightly, but said suspiciously: "According to what you say, as long as you can afford money and food, these people can work hard for you." So why don't the rebels come here to recruit people? ”

Hong Chengchou heard Mao Wenlong's question, and he immediately took a step closer and leaned in. Obviously, he was also very concerned about this issue.

Yu Zhong chuckled: "The reason is very simple, because those rebel armies are not short of people at all, and what they lack most is always food. The reason why the imperial court sends a large army to exterminate these rebels every year is that the people have nothing to eat. ”

"Wherever the rebels went, as long as the banner was raised, there would be those hungry people who would come forward and support them. There is no need to come here to recruit people. It was different for bandits or merchants, who needed manpower to do their work, and they could come here and exchange a very small amount of food for a large number of men. Then use these hands to rob military rations or merchants. ”

Such a strange industry was born in a strange place, and Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou had never even heard of it. And this may be an important reason why bandits are rampant and have been destroyed repeatedly.

After all, as long as anyone has a little food in their hands, they can come here at any time to pull up a large number of people, and then use these to loot more food. In such a vicious circle, it is not surprising that there is such a place.

Mao Wenlong can only sigh that at this time, human lives are splashed like ants, and people can pay for their lives just because of food and clothing in order not to starve to death.

After Hong Chengchou listened to Yuzhong's explanation, his face sank like water, and his eyes were full of extreme disappointment. At this moment, he realized how far the court had reached. And such a situation is only a short period of one year, and Hong Chengchou suddenly feels incredible.

In front of the gate of the post inn is a large open space, Yuzhong took Mao Wenlong to stop here, and Mao Wenlong asked for twenty taels of silver, and then said goodbye and entered the inn alone.

As soon as Mao Wenlong and the others stopped, they immediately found that the people who were still standing on both sides of the street just now would begin to gather in this open space.

Looking at the continuous influx of people, the hundred guards suddenly became nervous, showed their weapons as soon as possible, and protected Mao Wenlong and them.

Yu Wei turned around and told Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, don't be nervous, these people won't take action against any Jin here." This is the rule here, and the gold lord is more protected here than the emperor. If anyone dares to take the initiative against Jin here, they will definitely be besieged by others. ”

Mao Wenlong suddenly suddenly, he immediately drank so that the guards did not need to be nervous. Obviously, in order to continue to develop, such a rule is set to attract more financiers.

And if such a benign development continues, the prospects will naturally be prosperous. It's no wonder that this place has developed so much in just one year, and it also has his way in it.

Facts have also proved that what Yu Wei said is true, these people who came around only dared to stand ten meters away, but they did not dare to take another half step forward at will.

Yuzhong quickly came out of the inn, holding a large wooden board in his hand at the moment, and a line of words was written on it.

When Yuzhong got closer, Mao Wenlong found that it was written: "Recruitment, good skills are preferred!" Young and strong are preferred! ”

Yuzhong walked in front of Mao Wenlong and said with a smile: "Chief soldier, I have already informed the shopkeeper, and I have also paid the handling fee for twenty taels of silver, and now we can start recruiting people here." ”

"Well, then you can get started!" Mao Wenlong nodded, and directly acted as the shopkeeper.

Yuzhong was no longer polite, he directly held the wooden board in his hand, and then jumped into the carriage containing steamed buns and planted the wooden board on it. Then he shouted loudly: "The gold lord recruits, good skills are preferred, and young and strong are preferred." ”

At the same time, three carriages full of steamed buns, the canvas covered with which they were covered were pulled apart, revealing white steamed buns.
