In the front yard of the Chen family's old house, the buzzing discussion was immediately peaceful after Chen Jiahao's arrival. Under the gaze of countless eyes, Chen Jiahao quickly introduced the identities of Mao Wenlong and Zhu Yihai.

The leaders of the merchant gang present immediately realized that something big would happen, and they began to focus their minds on Mao Wenlong and Zhu Yihai. In the anxious gaze, Zhu Yihai took the lead in standing up, and his cold gaze swept over everyone present.

"Folks, this king has no other meaning when he comes this time, you don't need to be nervous." Zhu Yihai's tone was calm, but he was secretly indifferent, which was incomprehensible.

There was no response, and all the leaders of the Shang Gang quietly waited for Zhu Yihai to continue his speech. The people who can stand here today are all old fox-like characters, and those rolling in the mall will not be ordinary people.

Zhu Yihai was not angry, but was quite satisfied with the reaction of the gang leaders, and after a silence, Zhu Yihai said again: "This king took the provincial city and defeated the Japanese invaders, not just a formality. The king can tell you very responsibly that the future provincial cities want peace and stability, and anyone who wants to destroy them, this king will not be soft on them. Now, this king needs some talents who can govern the provincial capital, if you are interested, you can recommend it yourself. ”

At this point, Zhu Yihai paused again, and his cold eyes lit up again: "Once favored by this king, who can be an official here in the provincial capital from now on." ”

"...... Uproar"

As soon as Zhu Yihai's voice fell, there was an uproar.

Being an official and doing business, between the two, you want to get which one is better. No matter how successful a businessman is, he is just a businessman, but it is different to be an official, the so-called one-person ascension to heaven is not nonsense, but a fact.

There is no doubt that if one person in a family is an official, the status of the entire family will rise with the tide. These merchants, in particular, are far more hungry for power than ordinary farmers, and they all know very well that power means wealth.

"Lord Wang, the villain's surname is Leng, his name is Dawu, a person from Jiangxi, and he is also a small achievement in the provincial capital. But I don't know what the criteria for the selection of talents are for the prince? "Leng Dawu is the head of the Leng family, and the Leng family is also a medium-sized merchant in the provincial capital, and he is sleek and popular.

Zhu Yihai looked at Leng Dawu when he heard the voice, and said in a deep voice: "There is only one standard, and that is to assist this king in governing the provincial capital." As long as you can do this, nothing else matters. ”

Leng Dawu hesitated for a moment, then didn't dare to say more, and quietly retreated into the crowd. And the gang leaders of other merchant gangs have begun to measure their abilities in their hearts, in case they want to recommend themselves later.

Zhu Yihai glanced at everyone, and then was about to retreat, when he just raised his foot, but suddenly heard a beautiful voice coming. Zhu Yihai immediately followed the prestige, only to see a graceful beauty shadow coming from the crowd.

With a smiling face, Rosa's long skirt, stepping on the dancing steps, everywhere the woman went, everyone took the initiative to give way, and no one dared to block the way. The woman said as she walked: "Lord Wang, I wonder if the little girl can participate in the self-recommendation?" ”

After a while, the woman had come to Zhu Yihai more than a dozen steps away, and she was followed by two stout women, who seemed to be her maidservants or guards.

The sudden appearance of such a flower in the green bush gave people a great sense of impact, and Zhu Yihai was also stunned for a while, and he actually forgot to respond to the beauty in front of him. Compared with Zhu Yihai's performance, the gang leaders of those Shang Gangs are very different, they don't seem to be surprised, but they are very scruples about the woman in front of them, and no one dares to show disrespect to them.

Mao Wenlong's eyes were also locked on the woman's body at this moment, and when he saw the woman's appearance for the first time, it immediately appeared in his mind that this woman was not a Ming person. Although the woman's appearance was almost indistinguishable from that of the Ming people, her dark blue eyes made it easy to distinguish her bloodline.

The beautiful woman waited for a while, but when she didn't see Zhu Yihai's response, she spoke again: "Lord Wang, can you give the little girl an answer?" ”

Between the words, the women are all down-to-earth and generous, not pretentious, and their expressions are very natural. Although he has respect for Zhu Yihai, the prince, on the surface, he can't feel his scared look.

Compared to the gang leaders of other merchant gangs, this mysterious woman in front of her is incomprehensible? Mao Wenlong's careful observation concluded that this woman was definitely not simple, and just when Mao Wenlong was thinking deeply, the woman seemed to feel Mao Wenlong's gaze, and she suddenly looked at Mao Wenlong, revealing a charming smile.

Mao Wenlong's heart trembled suddenly, and when he just looked at the woman, he clearly felt a cold coldness from the woman's eyes. Although the woman was well hidden on the surface, Mao Wenlong still felt it.

"Haoda, keep an eye on this woman, be careful that she suddenly attacks the prince." Mao Wenlong had a bad premonition, and immediately reminded the vast behind him.

"Yes, Commander!" Haoda didn't have the same experience as Mao Wenlong in his heart, and he was very confused why Mao Wenlong wanted to guard against a weak woman who was defenseless and seemed harmless on the surface. But he still agreed, and as he was told, he raised his guard against the woman.

It was only at this time that Zhu Yihai came to his senses and scolded himself secretly, and then put away the obsession on his face and said with a smile: "Who are you?" ”

Only then did the woman retract her gaze at Mao Wenlong, turned to Zhu Yihai, and said with a smile again: "The little woman Ouyang Xiaoling, a local, is also the current helmsman of the Ouyang family. ”

The Ouyang family is definitely one of the best in the local area, and its strength is far better than that of today's Chen family. Zhu Yihai didn't know, but Chen Jiahao, who was standing not far from him, knew the reason.

"Do you think you can also be an official and assist the king in managing the provincial capital?" Zhu Yihai's words were full of doubts.

Although there have been many women as officials since ancient times, they have been rare since the Ming Dynasty. It's no wonder that Zhu Yihai discriminates against women!

"Did the prince answer the little girl's question just now, and then the little woman could answer the prince's question?" Ouyang Xiaoling didn't give up half a step, she was still so confident.

Zhu Yihai frowned when he heard this, but he didn't get angry, but was full of curiosity about Ouyang Xiaoling's performance, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "This king does not distinguish between men and women, as long as he has real skills, he can recommend himself." ”

The smile on Ouyang Xiaoling's face became even stronger when she heard this, and she chuckled: "That little woman can tell the prince that managing the provincial city is not a problem. ”

"Oh!"

Zhu Yihai didn't believe it, just as Zhu Yihai wanted to ask again, Chen Jiahao suddenly approached, muttered in his ear for a while, and then retreated. And Zhu Yihai's expression has changed greatly, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Since this is the case, then the king will give you a chance." ”
