Hall Castle.

Zhu Ping sat on the main seat, and while solving the food on the table, he conveyed one instruction after another to Lina and Nina's maid:

"Old Carl, you take all the male servants with you, go to the port and the labor market on the lower street to recruit private soldiers, the target group is farmers, the number starts at two hundred, including food and lodging and a monthly salary of one silver coin, but you have to sign a mercenary agreement."

"Master, a silver coin still cares about food and shelter, isn't it too much?" Carl Sr. has lived so long and has never seen such a bold way of hiring.

More than double the market price.

The most important thing is to include food and shelter, in this world, even if you don't give money, you can have something to eat, and you can work hard.

Originally, it was not so chaotic to go down the street.

Since the aristocracy plundered the farmer's land in a tyrannical way, the farmer had no choice but to go to the city to earn a living, forming a dirty and messy slum.

If you're lucky, you can even go to mining and earn a living by selling coolies.

But there are so many gem mines, and it is not possible to sell coolies if you want to.

These peasants, who had no money, no land, no jobs, were either starved to death, or they were barely living, walking on the road to starvation, and a man could not live as a livestock.

After all, although livestock lives on the road to be slaughtered, they at least do not have to worry about starving to death before they are slaughtered.

In the streets, those elegant aristocrats holding red wine worth dozens of silver coins and chatting freely at the ball, naturally they will not notice this.

Of course, even if they notice, they will only hypocritically give away some food, and then increase their efforts to take more food away from them.

"Is a silver coin a lot to buy a life?" Zhu Ping supported his cheek with one hand, his fingers rhythmically tapped on the tabletop, and he was silent for a long time.

sighed: "Just think of it as a thousand dollars to buy horse bones!"

It's so chaotic on the street, Na Dana and Na two follow the old Carl together, you two take the guys, protect the safety of the old Carl, you know? ”

"Yes!" X2

The voices of the two brothers were still so loud and crisp, and they shook everyone's hearts and moved secretly.

They have never been to school, they have not read books, they do not understand the great truths, they do not understand philosophy, they do not understand what the source of this emotion is.

They just feel that Zhu Ping is treating them as people, and they feel that "people" are more like "people".

"Alright, you guys go ahead!" Zhu Ping waved his hand.

Wait until the team recruiting creeps leaves.

Raising his head, he looked up at Nina's maid slightly: "I heard that the kingdom will experience a fierce beast attack every ten years, how will those hundred battle soldiers be settled after the beast tide recedes?" ”

"Back to the lord, the nobles are no longer willing to pay such a high cost, and most of them have been sent home, some have become the valets of the nobles, and some have become mercenaries." Nina replied truthfully.

"You should be able to reach these veterans!"

"Yes." The reason why Nina, as a housekeeper, can provide all kinds of help to employers is because of the existence of the butler circle, which has faintly become a network of contacts between nobles.

It's like a professional manager in the same industry, and most of them have the contact information of professional managers from other companies.

Because of their tacit understanding, they form a kind of "information exchange circle".

The "new rich" will hire veteran butlers, just as "start-ups" hire well-known CEOs...... I not only fancy this person, but also the network of people behind him.

Although Nina's connections are far inferior to those veteran butlers, it is enough to involve these non-aristocratic human resources.

"They told them that Hall Castle recruits private military instructors, and they need to be screened for entry, and after the selection, the price starts with five silver coins."

"Yes!" Nina nodded, no surprise, no rebuttal, and turned around and left when she was instructed.

She never asks why when she acts, she acts in a down-to-earth manner, and her execution is outrageously strong, after all, Brother Na Da was taught by her, and she is in the same vein.

Zhu Ping's gaze retracted from Nina's departing back, looked at the thin bamboo pole, and said, "Anji, next, you secretly protect Nina's safety and start acting!" ”

"Why did you tell me to do something, I am not your servant!"

"I'll give the money!"

"Then you give the money first!" Anji and Zhu Ping stared at each other, dead or alive, and they didn't see the gold coins.

In the end, Zhu Ping was helpless, and threw out another gold coin, and the illusionist in sequence 8 was worth this price.

As a result, Anji was still dissatisfied, and said hungrily: "What else? The money ......."

"What money?"

"What kind of money are you talking about, those hundred gold coins!"

"You know that the hundred gold coins are in my hands! I said that I would give you money after the matter was over, and don't forget that the matter between us is not over yet!

When everything is over, the money will be returned to you with interest.

Now that the money is in my hands, and I don't do what I say, do you still want the money? Zhu Ping's voice was a little serious, which made Anji confused.

"If you want it, I'll go for it...... Wait, how does it feel like something is wrong? Anji just reacted that he was being tricked.

However, at this time, Zhu Ping has long since disappeared!

It is impossible to give money!

Now Zhu Ping is holding a hundred gold coins and not letting go, not just to trap the other party, but also to use these gold coins to bind the other party and prevent the other party from diving halfway.

After all, it is indispensable to guard against people.

But Zhu Ping didn't get mad enough to kill him directly, there was no way, the people who came out of his hometown were more or less a virgin, and it was still a bit difficult to do that kind of black-hearted villain's behavior.

It is the safest to bind with money, because as long as he is not stupid, he will definitely understand who will give him money and who will kill him.

And, by the way, you can also get a "loyal" Sequence 8 Shapeshifter thug, so why not.

Brainless killing, leaving only a piece of chicken feathers.

Use your brain to play with people's hearts to get double the happiness.

In addition, Zhu Ping didn't inquire about any news about the disappeared nobleman, and completely acted as if nothing had happened, and what he should do every day.

At this time, to inquire about the news, you must know that curiosity kills the cat.

……

"Now I teach you to draw, come and hold the pen well, feel this flower with your heart, the pen in your hand is not only a pen, it is a bridge between the soul and the outside world......"

When the old craftsman said this, the treachery and shrewdness on his face disappeared, and for a time there was really some style of an artist.

The teacher gives a lecture on the stage.

There were three elementary school students sitting respectfully in the audience, Zhu Ping, Lina, and Olena.

"Painting is the most elegant cultivation sequence, and only those who are full of spirituality in their hearts are qualified to cultivate it." The old craftsman's eyes scanned around.

"Spirituality is a patent owned by a few, and it is very difficult for the average person to get started." As he said this, he swept towards Lina without a trace.

Then he looked at Olena again and snorted coldly, "No matter how much foundation a stupid person has, he is often unable to compare to the sudden inspiration talent of others. ”

"A true unparalleled genius can often advance by leaps and bounds in a day...... "The old craftsman nodded and smiled at Zhu Ping with eyes full of approval.

I wish you a smile in return.

Old Hutt withdrew his eyes, and said in a very pious voice: "Take the pen in your hand and draw the flower ...... in your heart."

An hour later.

A "flower" appears on Nina's drawing board.

A "flower" also appears on Olena's drawing board.

A "grass" flower appeared on Zhu Ping's drawing board.

Old craftsman: "? ……”

As a genius, Zhu Ping looked at his "work" with great anticipation, although this flower is a little bit like a flower, but it is also reasonable, at least playing "you draw and I guess" has a chance to be guessed.

Zhu Ping, who admired his works, nodded again and again, expressing great satisfaction.

At this time, he is like the author who has just finished writing a novel, how do you think he writes well, and everyone else writes spicy chicken...... A typo is not called a typo, it is called a fake word, and the water that is irrigated is not called water, it is called Qiong Jelly and Jade Liquid......

Zhu Ping was full of confidence and asked, "Teacher Hurt, how is my drawing?" ”

"You're really good...... Particularly. The moment the old craftsman took the painting, he just wanted to scold, but when he saw that it was Zhu Ping's face, his disdainful expression immediately became extremely serious.

Trying to find an area on the artboard that could be seen, it took dozens of minutes to no avail.

Am I not good enough to see the spirituality in his paintings...... The old craftsman thought.

After all, Zhu Ping had previously shown extraordinary powers of observation, analytical skills, and so-called "spirituality".

So much so that the old craftsmen have long regarded him as a new star in the craftsman world, and is even expected to become the new leader of the revitalization of the life mechanics school.

How can it be ugly?

It's impossible!

Since it is not that the painting is ugly, and you can't see even the slightest bit of spirituality, it must be that the connotation in the painting is too rich and hidden too profound, and it cannot be easily understood!

Could this be the legendary abstract genre...... The old craftsman's face changed for a few minutes, and the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he tasted right, and sighed:

"The level of this painting is too high, and it is a little difficult to see, but it must be a work full of spirituality."

"Really?" Zhu Ping really didn't understand anything, the old craftsman said that the level was high, that was naturally a high level, and he was a little happy for a while.

I couldn't help but cross my waist for a while......

It's me!

Lina and Olena looked at the vivid painting in their hands and hung their heads: "Hey...... The gap with genius is too great. ”

Zhu Ping noticed the depressed mood of the two people beside him, couldn't help but smile, touched the heads of the two little Lori, and comforted: "Don't be sad, it doesn't matter if your talent is a little worse."

Diligence can make up for the shortcomings, and one day, maybe there is a small possibility to catch up with my back. ”
