Chapter 369: The Tiger Wants to Might
As soon as the rooster crowed, Li Xiao had already gotten up.
Since coming to Wuzhenzhou, Li Xiao's sleep time on the first day has been very short, perhaps because he is vigilant, after all, there are only a few hundred Tang people in this Wuzhenzhou city, while there are nearly 10,000 people in Baekje. Living in this city surrounded by the Baekje people every day, it is really impossible to tell whether he is ruling these Baekje people or whether he is besieged by the Baekje people.
Energetic, but very hungry.
When several mercenaries guarding outside Li Xiao's door saw him get up, they all rubbed their faces and cheered up.
"Hard work brothers."
"It's not hard, anyway, there will be a shift change, and we'll go to catch up on sleep after breakfast." A mercenary from Guannai Dao, he used to be a ranger, and later committed a life lawsuit and ran to Henan and became a famous horse. Now that he has changed his face and followed Zhao Jiman to Baekje, he also feels quite comfortable.
Li Xiao called for breakfast.
"Let's eat together, I'll order you too."
The breakfast was not bad, the golden millet produced in Chang'an Guan, boiled for a long time into a very thick and delicious millet porridge, with meat floss from Hashuo, plus shrimp skin from the coast of Baekje, plus some tender green vegetable leaves, very good.
The two mercenaries are not very fond of millet porridge, preferring white flour steamed buns with large pieces of fried fish.
"This Wujin is also known as Baekje City, but there is not even a decent restaurant outside, which is really embarrassing." A mercenary munched on a steamed bun and said.
"Not only is there no good food, not even a decent girl, although there are also a few Qinglou Chu Pavilions, but you look at what kind of goods are inside, crooked mouth and squinted eyes, and all of his mother's makeup is ugly, Lao Tzu also said that day to try it, but in the end after visiting a few stores in the city, in the end I couldn't pick a suitable one."
The other said, "Anyway, when the lights blow, it's not all the same." ”
"How can it be the same, those Baekje prostitutes are not as good as the village girls in the most remote places of my Tang Dynasty, they really can't do it."
"Hahaha."
Li Xiao drank the porridge slowly, listening to the two guys gossiping there, and did not express his opinion. In fact, he was not interested in any Baekje prostitutes, and when he first entered the city of Mujinju, the Baekje nobles and the magnates in the city had already come to visit him.
Send all kinds of gold and silver treasures, and many beauties.
Of course, this beauty is the beauty in their eyes, and among them are the famous famous famous actors in the city, as well as the young women of some families, but as the two mercenaries said, these women are indeed very simple.
It's not that the posture is too bad, but it's not temperamental enough, after all, this Wuzhen Prefecture is a small place, far away from the Middle Earth Tang Dynasty, there is no knowledge, and there are not even many people who have read books, so they seem ignorant and ignorant. Even the makeup and clothes are very old-fashioned, how can Li Xiao have an appetite.
Wuzhen Prefecture is said to be a large state with a population of tens of thousands, and there are nearly 10,000 people in the city. But it is not prosperous at all, there are few goods in the market, and the people are hungry.
There are a lot of powerful businessmen, but compared with those upper-class people in the Central Plains, they can't help but feel a little bit like a rural bun.
After enjoying the breakfast with the taste of his hometown, Li Xiao went to the racecourse to ride a horse and practice swordsmanship.
It used to be the mansion of the previous high-ranking officials of Wuzhen Prefecture, the home of a hereditary nobleman. When Xue Rengui attacked here, he led his army to die outside the city, and after Xue entered the city, he confiscated this mansion.
Now Xue Rengui is far away at the foot of Julie Mountain, this mansion has been empty, after Li Xiao entered the city, he chose this place as the Andong Dao strategy, the pacification envoy Yamen and the Wuzhen Prefecture Assassin Mansion.
The front yard is the yamen, and the back yard is his residence.
Running a horse to practice swordsmanship, half an hour later, sweating all over, soaking his clothes belt, Li Xiao finished his work, took a shower and changed clothes and came to the front hall.
There are two signs in one yamen, but there are still too few personnel.
In the entire yamen, except for Li Xiao, an official appointed by the imperial court, there is no other subordinate official, and Li Xiao is equivalent to a bare-bones commander.
As a result, Li Xiao could only recruit and appoint his staff members by himself, and use them to temporarily fill various positions in the yamen, and these people came from Chang'an with him.
They serve as staff members, but they do the errands of various subordinate officials.
Fortunately, he still has 20 personal guards, a 200-person mercenary group, and the 200 Eastern Expeditionary soldiers from Tamluo Island that Liu Jun gave him, which can be regarded as strong and strong.
With these more than 400 people, no one in Wuzhen Prefecture dared to be presumptuous with him.
But the 500 people left by Xue Rengui rushed to Tamna Island after he entered the city. They were going there to escort the grain, grass, and medicines that Liu Jun had bought, and sent them to the front of the Julie army.
"Has the recruitment list been posted?"
In the official hall, Li Xiao asked Zhao Zhiman.
"Yesterday, they were all posted, a hundred were posted, and people were banged on the gong to promote it. So far, however, no one has applied. ”
"None of them applied?" Li Xiao had a calm face, there was a problem.
In any case, no one should be recruited, after all, the conditions he offered are still okay. If you are selected, you will have a reward of 100 dollars, and you will also have a set of clothes, socks and shoes, not to mention food and accommodation. Especially those who used to be slaves, they can immediately become good citizens of Datang after being selected. If the debts that were difficult to repay in the past can be written off after being selected, and there is no need to repay them again.
But with such conditions, no one applied?
"Who's behind it?" Li Xiao asked.
Zhao Zhiman nodded, "San Lang, you expected it well, as soon as the list came out, a few guys said that if anyone dared to apply, they would let him die a good death, and even let his whole family die." ”
"Who dares to take such a big breath?"
"They are the three largest families in this Wuzhen Prefecture city, these people have been the nobles here for generations, they occupy the most land estates, and even many shops and caravans in the city are also theirs, and they are the land snakes here."
"Snake on the ground? But do they think they can wrestle with us? ”
"The mantis arm is a car, you don't measure yourself, and you are looking for death!" Li Xiao shook his head and sneered.
Zhao Zhiman said, "They may have seen you enter the city for so many days, but they haven't moved, and they still smile with them, so they think you are really easy to bully." ”
"Yes, if the tiger is not powerful, they really think it is a sick cat. Second brother, it seems that we have to show our muscles, or others really think we are easy to bully. ”
"I'll take the mercenary group on a trip and wipe out these three clans."
Li Xiao shook his head.
"If they want to play, then we'll play with them. You asked people to post a post to all the prominent families in the city, saying that the marshal was going to hold a banquet in the official office and entertain these local celebrities. ”
"San Lang wants to set up a Hongmen banquet?"
"What kind of Hongmen banquet, is to kill pig wine, I want to cut down the guy who dares to provoke my Tang Dynasty and provoke me Li Xiao in front of all the so-called powerful and powerful people in Wuzhenzhou City."
Since the chicken is disobedient, then kill it, not only to kill, but also to kill in front of the monkey!
