"A certain is Jin Daqian, the housekeeper of the Shu Prince's Mansion, who is specially ordered to recruit conscripts here, if you have any questions, you can ask me!" Jin Daqian said loudly.

The people around you look at me, I look at you, a bolder young man said: "Is it true that there is a thing of three cents a day?" ”

"The King of Shu promises a thousand gold, saying that it is three cents a day, it will definitely be three cents!" Kim Dae-kyim replied.

Another person said: "How many of you officials do count, why should we believe your words!" ”

Jin Daqian looked at Li Su, and saw that Li Su nodded, "Now the King of Shu has bought ten buckets of rice in Nanshi, if anyone transports these rice to the Shu King's Mansion and returns to this place, I will give him a hundred dollars, which strong man is willing to try!" ”

"A hundred wen? You can buy 30 buckets of rice, and you won't be able to eat it all for a few months, it's really fake! ”

"And such a good thing? How is that possible? Earn a hundred wen for such a little work? ”

"Only fools will be fooled, and these officials will make our people happy!"

“……”

At this time, a thin young man was carrying firewood on his back and walked out of the city gate with a decadent face, he was the iron ox, today he carried firewood to the city in the hope of changing some rice, but there were too many people selling firewood in the city, and no one cared about it from morning to night.

Seeing that the market entrance was so lively, Tie Niu walked over and asked, "What's wrong, why are there so many people?" ”

A person said: "It was said that the King of Shu paid 100 yuan to let people transport 10 buckets of rice to the Mansion of the King of Shu, and everyone was watching the excitement?" ”

"One hundred wen!" Tie Niu opened his mouth, remembering that the old lady said that the king of Shu was recruiting labor in Yizhou City, and said, "Has anyone been recruited?" ”

"It's been like this for a long time, no one has applied yet, at most one or two pennies to transport something, how can it be a hundred wen, it must be a lie, who dares to believe this Yizhou official!"

A scholar interjected: "But with the king's 'word', that is the heir of today's saint, not an official of Yizhou, maybe it's true!" ”

"Then why don't you go?"

"How can a certain scholar do that kind of rough work!"

"Whew!"

Tie Niu listened to the discussion in his ears and hesitated, the family has been out of food for almost a month, and the old lady in the family will definitely not be able to survive like this.

After waiting for a long time, still no one stepped forward, Li Su's heart sank, the court lost faith in the people that is a sign that the building will fall, if it encounters a natural disaster or man-made disaster, it is enough to cause a civil uprising, at this time, taking advantage of the people's distrust of Yizhou officials, we should take advantage of the trend to grasp the people's hearts in their own hands, with the support of the people, Yizhou will be their own iron camp in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Su walked to the notice and said: "A certain is the king of Shu, the sixth son of the current saint, who was ordered to lead the military and political affairs of Yizhou, and said a word, if anyone sends these ten buckets of rice to the palace, this hundred dollars will be his!" ”

"King Shu!"

"He is the King of Shu?"

“……”

Li Su's words made the people's faces look surprised, and they looked at Li Su in fear one by one, and they were silent before the announcement.

"I'm coming!" At that moment, a man raised his hand.

Li Su's eyes lit up, it was a young man with firewood on his back, his face was yellow and thin, he was quite thin, but his eyes were quite cold, he put down the firewood and squeezed through the crowd to Li Su and bowed down and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the grass people are willing to give it a try!" ”

"Okay, Kim Daqian asked people to bring the rice up!" Li Su breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that there would be no one to pick a head.

The eyes of the people were immediately focused on the young man, doubt, schadenfreude, contempt, and so on.

"What's Lang Jun's name?" Li Su began to worry about whether such a thin body could transport 200 catties of rice to the palace? This palace has to go two miles to get here, to say the least.

"Wei Tieniu!"

Li Su smiled and said, "Strong man, please!" ”

Wei Tieniu glanced at the bag of rice on the ground, gritted his teeth, roared, and carried two hundred catties of rice with his arms.

Li was embarrassed, and couldn't help but think, is the strength of this ancient person so great?

"Please follow me!" A royal family member walked in front to guide Wei Tieniu, and the people coaxed to follow, all waiting to see the joke.

Although Tie Niu's figure is thin, he is also a well-known figure in the village, which is due to his natural strength, but even so, he has no strength after a month of hunger, and it is very difficult to carry these two hundred catties of rice one step at a time, but thinking of the old lady at home, he is stubbornly walking towards the palace of the king of Shu.

Iron Bull's difficult appearance made the people around him gradually feel pity, and the initial ridicule gradually turned into encouragement......

After waiting for an hour, Li Yu and Jin Daqian, who were waiting in front of the notice, saw Wei Tieniu walking towards the notice surrounded by the people.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" Wei Tieniu was soaked in sweat, his chest was rising and falling violently, and the people stood behind him, all looking at Li Su.

"Kim Daqian!" Li Su called, and Jin Daqian immediately handed Li Su the usual money.

Li Su untied the twine and said, "Wei Tieniu open his hand!" ”

Hearing this, Wei Tieniu stretched out his hand tremblingly, and the people around him snorted and stared at the string of copper coins in Li Su's hand.

"Ten, twenty...... Ninety, one hundred! Li Su put the copper coins in Wei Tieniu's hands one by one in front of everyone.

"Really give!"

"I knew I was on it, hey!"

"Who would have thought it would be true!"

“……”

Wei Tieniu's hands trembled more and more, when had he ever seen so much money, looking at the copper coin in his hand, Wei Tieniu's eyes were full of tears, and he said gratefully: "His Royal Highness King Xie Shu!" ”

Li Su patted Wei Tieniu's shoulder and said, "Good job!" Then he turned to the onlookers, "No matter what the officials of Yizhou are, but I will never break my trust, everyone, now the Shu Wangfu is recruiting 3,000 laborers, and you can sign up today!" ”

"Your Highness, I'll sign up!" Wei Tieniu said.

"Me!"

"Me!"

"And me!"

There were constant voices in the crowd.

"Okay, Kim Daqian write down their names!" Li Su smiled.

When the people around heard this, they stepped forward one by one and began to report their names to Kim Daqian.

"Mother!" Wei Tieniu carried a bag of rice on his back, led a three-pound fish into the house, Wei Tieniu's mother was cooking on the fire, and the astringency of wild vegetables wafted out of the pot, and when he saw Wei Tieniu coming back, he blamed: "Why did you come back so late, it's dark!" ”

Wei Tieniu didn't answer, but excitedly put the bag in front of the old lady and opened the bag, "Mother, what do you think this is?" ”

"Where did you get so much rice?"

Wei Tieniu smiled and told his mother about his encounter in Yizhou City.

"Son, this King of Shu is a good official, remember to contribute to his work in the future, don't be lazy, you know?"

"Mother, don't worry, there is such a good thing, how can I be lazy, I used to deal with the officials of Yizhou, but now this King of Shu is different!"
