Chapter 274: The Escort Team is formed
The next morning, before the inn opened, Lin Dong found Ma Chun with the written news of the Chamber of Commerce.
Looking at the content of the news, Ma Chun suddenly understood what Lin Dong said yesterday.
A prince who had been in seclusion for decades and had a very high prestige in the Han Kingdom suddenly went to the court to denounce the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and to prevent the establishment of the Supervision Yuan.
Contacting Fu Tongshan's disappearance and Lin Dong's inquiry, Ma Chun understood that this extremely prestigious prince may be apocryphal, but it is really possible that a big man who has been ignored by many people will try to prevent the establishment of the Supervision Yuan.
This big man is undoubtedly Fu Tongshan.
Fu Tongshan has been a great minister for decades, and he is also the leader of the scribe party, although the scribe party was defeated, Fu Tongshan was also demoted to a prefect in just a few years. But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the scribe party is not powerful, but looking at the Han Kingdom, there are many officials who are born as scribes. Fu Tongshan climbed high and shouted, and he could also blow a storm in the Great Han Kingdom. Coupled with Fu Tongshan's decades of operation, it is impossible not to bury chess pieces in the court, and there is really a possibility of turning the tables.
Fu Tongshan did this, undoubtedly at the behest of Emperor Qianwei.
Emperor Qianwei, who has been sitting on the throne for more than 40 years, and the throne under his ass was killed in a bloody storm. If you really want to resist the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, with the help of Fu Tongshan and the scribe party, it is not impossible to win.
In normal times, Ma Chun was not very keen on the news of the Chamber of Commerce that Lin Dong handed over to him from time to time. In his opinion, the more news there is, the more court officials will be implicated, and the danger will naturally increase.
But this time, after Ma Chun figured it out, the smile on his face was a hundred times brighter than the sun that had not yet appeared outside the inn. The whole person is also countless times more positive.
The first glimmer of light spilled into the inn through the window paper. Ma Chun slapped his face and opened the door.
Diners, one after another, the Chamber of Commerce reappeared major news with the inn as the center, slowly spreading towards the entire Autumn Wind City.
Along with it, there is another surprise for large and super large diners.
The remaining eighteen signature dishes of Lin Ji Inn and various third- and fourth-order spirit beast spirit materials, the color and fragrance have been greatly improved, compared to the previous one, it is so good that people are full of praise.
On the first day, without any publicity, the business on the second and third floors of Lin Kee Inn still declined slightly compared with the previous day.
The next day, after the major news of the Chamber of Commerce spread, the quality of Lin Ji Inn's signature dishes and third- and fourth-order spirit beast spirit materials suddenly made a huge leap and caused a lot of discussions. The business on the second and third floors of the Lin Kee Inn has finally stopped declining, and faintly, there are already signs of rising.
On the third day, after studying the information of the owners of the major restaurants for a day, Ling Zhengyang finally couldn't sit still.
That night, the Lin Kee Inn welcomed an ally who was planning to cancel the cooperation. The next day, the signature dishes of Lin Kee Inn had to be deleted by two, while Fenglin Restaurant added two signature dishes.
The scales seemed to be tilting a little in the direction of Fenglin Restaurant.
However, Ling Zhengyang hadn't been happy for a few days, and the quality of Lin Ji Inn's signature dishes and third- and fourth-order spirit beast spirit materials improved again, and another punch knocked his body that he had managed to stand up to the ground with great difficulty.
In the inn, Yun Lan sipped the Hongyun tea, leisurely. Lin Dong stood in the center, his eyes slightly closed. In mid-air, three benches were flipping and moving.
Since he had fully comprehended the mantra of the Sky Realm, Lin Dong had been able to achieve that the movement route of the Sky Realm no longer only had the two exits of his hands, but had become any position in his body. That is, dozens or even hundreds of items can be controlled at the same time.
But these dozens or even hundreds of items are just controlled at the same time, and the spiritual power overflows, and all the items rise and fall at the same time, moving in one direction at the same time. I want to control these objects to move in a variety of different trajectories, but there are still 108,000 miles away.
Under Yun Lan's suggestion, Lin Dong's goal of practice is not only to control the speed of the bench touching the corner of Yun Lan's clothes, but also to control more than two benches to move in different directions at the same time.
Three strips are already Lin Dong's limit.
Of course, this limit is only temporary.
was practicing happily, and at the entrance of the courtyard, a dark shadow flashed out.
Lin Dong looked at it intently, it was Wang Liu's mole in a black suit.
Compared with the little gangster at the beginning, Wang Liumole at this moment, with vigorous steps and a calm expression, has changed greatly.
"The shopkeeper has been completely tested."
Wang Liumo's words caused the three benches suspended in mid-air to fall down in unison.
It's completely tested, doesn't it mean that the guards and branch managers of Lin Ji Inn finally have someone?
Lin Dong took a deep breath, and after his beating heart stabilized a little, he said in a deep voice: "How many are there in total?" ”
Wang Liumole smacked his lips and replied, "Forty-eight!" ”
"Even Mu Ling and the four of them?" Lin Dong asked.
"They're the first ones, and of course they're not among them." Wang Liumole said without thinking.
Lin Dong's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a lot. Forty-eight were added in one go, plus four Mu Ling, five Wang Liuxi, and Ma Chun, which was equivalent to the complete allegiance to the people of the Lin Ji Inn, and now there were fifty-eight.
The shopkeepers of the ten branches not only have enough manpower, but they can also choose a lot. The remaining forty-seven are the members of the escort team of the Lin Kee Inn.
Of course, of these forty-seven, a part of the manpower is also assigned to be responsible for cultivating and testing other gangsters. But in any case, the inn's manpower was finally enough for the first time.
"Everyone is in Autumn Wind City?"
Wang Liumo nodded and said, "Except for the thin bamboo pole sent to the Heavenly Sword Sect to deliver the letter, the three of them, all of them are in Autumn Wind City. ”
"Bring it all to the inn!" Lin Dong said without hesitation: "I have a task for you." ”
"Now?" Wang Liumo hesitated: "With so many people coming in one breath, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of others." ”
Lin Dong nodded, pondered for a moment, and decided: "Then come over in the middle of the night and disguise yourself as a caravan to enter the door from the backyard." ”
"Okay! I'm going to go back and make arrangements? Wang Liumo asked.
Lin Dong nodded and said with a smile: "There is still half a day, when I go back, find Ma Chunzhi and send one thousand taels of silver, as long as you don't make trouble, you can be as happy as you want." ”
Wang Liumole grinned, a thousand taels of silver, divided up, each person had twenty taels. In the place of Autumn Wind City, there are not many places where you can use twenty taels of silver in half a day.
When Wang Liumo left, Lin Dong held back the excitement in his heart and once again controlled the three benches to fly in mid-air.
In the middle of the night, when the bright moon was hanging high, Lin Dong opened the side door of the backyard and sat straight at the stone table to think about what was going on. Under the moonlight, the slightly furrowed eyebrows looked particularly deep.
The slight sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and Lin Dong's spirits perked up, and his eyes suddenly moved to the side door.
In a moment, a group of men in short coats, dressed as men and guards, rushed in. Dressed in brocade clothes and holding a folding fan, Wang Liumo, who looked like a young master, took the lead and led everyone to stop five meters in front of Lin Dong.
In an instant, everyone lined up in two lines.
"Good evening, shopkeeper!"
A neat queue, sonorous greetings, and scorching eyes...... Lin Dong's heart was agitated, these people in front of him were the forces that completely belonged to him.
This force may not have many people now, maybe not a single person who practices martial arts, or maybe the talent is not high, but Lin Dong believes that sooner or later, these people will grow stronger with the rise of the inn.
Slowly getting up, Lin Dong's voice crossed in the night.
"You, would you like to join my Lin Ji Inn?"
"Yes!" Fifty-four voices did not hesitate.
"From now on, you are the most trustworthy people in the Lin Kee Inn." Lin Dong said slowly: "Among you, because of your ability, some of you will be the shopkeeper of a branch in the future, some will become the captain or one of the members of the escort team, and some may be incognito for the rest of your life because of the needs of the inn. Either way, I hope that in your hearts, you will always be the most trustworthy brothers and companions. ”
Everyone nodded heavily, silently, with unquestionable resoluteness.
Lin Dong smiled leisurely, opened the inn system, and called out everyone's surnames in turn.
"Huaning, Yang Shui, Li Dacheng ......"
Lin Dong shouted one by one, and in the team, the people who were named walked out together. In a few moments, ten people came out of the ranks.
These ten people are all relatively outstanding people in both eloquence and reaction.
Glancing at the ten people, Lin Dong said slowly: "From today on, you are the shopkeeper of the ten branches of Lin Ji Inn, give you a few days, and I will let Ma Chun be responsible for teaching you the matters of being the shopkeeper." As for the things that can't be leaked out of the inn, you must be careful in the future. The slightest mistake can lead to immeasurable consequences. ”
Ten people responded in unison: "Understood! ”
"Little Liu, you are the captain of the Lin Ji Inn Escort Team, responsible for the defense and escort cultivation of all inns." Lin Donglang said.
Wang Liumole nodded, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper promises to let those who dare to come to the inn to make trouble come in vertically and lie down and go out." ”
The gangsters in the Autumn Wind Province have been completely screened out, and if they want to add new blood, they must enter other prefectures and counties. However, the unification of the gangsters in various provinces and counties is a big threat to the yamen, and it is definitely not possible to get through the relationship one by one. Only by opening up the relationship between Lingnan counties and county officials can we get twice the result with half the effort.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Dong decided to let it go for the time being, the group of people on hand was enough, and the rest, it was not too late to start when the inn entered the county office, and immediately said: "Come again, the other people's temporary task is only cultivation, including all the innkeepers, cultivation is your biggest task." ”
Everyone responded in unison.
Lin Dongchang exhaled turbidity, and the escort team was finally formed.
With loyal men, things are easy. In terms of cultivation, the number of people is not large for the time being, and if you open a three- or four-fold cultivation bonus, the spirit stone is not tight.
The top priority is to open a branch.
After opening a branch, the income of the inn will continue to increase, and there will be more silver taels to buy spirit stones. In addition, a message network for information on local news can be set up. If there are enough spirit stones, the branches in various places will also be the bases for planting high-level spiritual materials and breeding high-level spirit beasts.
If you want to open a branch, you have to personally incorporate the inns that have been built into the inn system one by one.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Dong resolutely made a decision, he had to put his cultivation aside for the time being, and the ten major counties of Autumn Wind City had to go shopping.
