The Mai woman lowered her head and whispered, "Our family used to be a very prosperous family, although it was not a big family, but it was still ranked first among some middle-class families. But my older brother, who is my father's only son. Because of his addiction to gambling, he owed a large amount of money to the young masters of several major families, and in order to repay his brother's debts, the family had to sell all their family property, and then went to Customs City to start anew. But life is also about to get bleaker, and finally I have to hide in the slums to make a living. ”

The more the Mai woman spoke, the lower her voice became, and in the end she couldn't cry.

Zhao Feng looked at the woman in sackcloth who couldn't cry, and his heart couldn't help but soften, so he took out a piece of gauze from his spatial ring and handed it to the woman in sack.

"Don't be sad, since you're here, you have to start over, don't remember the past, now you have to forget the past and start over. I'm giving you a chance now, as long as you have the confidence to do a good job, I believe that you will be better off than before. ”

Zhao Feng handed the contract he had just written to the Mai woman.

The Mai woman took the contract handed by Zhao Feng, and after reading it carefully, she burst into tears and smiled, her parents finally had the money to see a doctor.

"Young Master Xie gave Bai Shuangshuang a chance, and thank you Young Master for Bai Shuangshuang's new appointment. ”

The Mai woman Bai Shuangshuang hurriedly bowed down and thanked Zhao Feng, the conditions that the young master gave him were too good. One dragon coin per month, although not as high as the iron man's salary, has an additional reward, rewarding one percent of the net profit of the annual performance. This one percent of the pure profit still depends on herself, and she can't imagine how much it will be, because she believes in her own ability.

After some heartbeat, Bai Shuangshuang suddenly remembered that his salary was monthly. But my parents may not make it to next month.

"Young master, can I overdraft a month's salary to you first. ”

Bai Shuangshuang whispered.

"Hehe, trivial matter, if there is any need to tell Young Master Ben directly in the future, Young Master Ben is very considerate to his subordinates. ”

Zhao Feng handed her a bag of dragon coins without saying anything.

"Thank you, young master. ”

Bai Shuangshuang ran out of the City Lord's Mansion in gratitude.

......

With the end of today's recruitment, Zhao Feng stretched his waist, he hadn't been so tired for a long time. I didn't expect that there were so few talents in the other world, and in one day, only a dozen people were recruited, which was completely incomparable with the earth.

"The young master has already made an agreement with the major forces at night, and he is still in that restaurant. ”

As soon as Li Mu saw Zhao Feng, he hurriedly stepped forward to report.

"Well, call me when it's time. ”

Hurriedly returned to his room and began a new round of planning for the customs city.

I don't know how long it was, Li Mu hurriedly knocked on Zhao Feng's door.

"Young master, you can go to the restaurant, the leaders of the other forces have already arrived. ”

I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to plan a new city, Zhao Feng put down the pen in his hand. It wasn't the same as he had imagined, he had to do it all by himself.

He had to do all the big and small things in Xincheng by himself, and others couldn't help him at all. The new city designed by himself is too advanced, and with the thinking of people from other worlds, he does not understand his own design at all.

......

Zhao Feng, who walked into the restaurant, said directly to the table of people who were already full.

"You must have a preliminary understanding of why I summoned you here. ”

"I understand, I don't know how the city lord will treat the forces of our mercenary groups after he has absorbed our major mercenary groups. ”

For Zhao Feng's straightforward style, they are used to it. As early as before Zhao Feng arrived at the restaurant, several of their major forces had already communicated with each other.

"Well, for the mercenary group that has been recruited, it will be directly classified as a direct force of the City Lord's Mansion and obey my orders. The leaders of the major mercenary groups will be canonized as the great nobles of the Customs City and enjoy the greater preferential policies of the Customs City. But there is one thing you need to remember that the canonized nobles can have the power of their families, but not their private armies. ”

Zhao Feng looked at the people who were deep in thought, and he was not afraid of attacking them, and continued, "You can also choose to leave Customs City, any force that wants to leave, as long as the members of the mercenary group leave voluntarily, they can leave Customs City." However, those who choose to leave will not be accepted by Customs City in the future. ”

Zhao Feng didn't want to explain more, so he directly pointed out the two paths and asked them to choose one of the two.

Immediately, the people below were talking, because these two paths were not good for them.

The first way is to let them return to Zhao Feng's forces. Then they are definitely not as comfortable as they are now, and they can't have a private army yet, so their strength will definitely be greatly reduced. As for the preferential policies, all this is not Zhao Feng alone.

The second way is even more difficult for them to accept, unless it is the last minute, and no one wants to leave the place where they have been operating for decades or even centuries. This path is only the next step for them.

"Lord of the city, I wonder if other forces will be able to have a private army after joining the customs city in the future, or will they have the power of the great nobles?"

The leader of the Sharp Mercenary Regiment, who had been sitting below, suddenly asked.

"Rest assured, unless Customs City is captured. Otherwise, as long as I find out who has set up a private army without permission, I will directly raid the house. ”

Zhao Feng glanced at everyone and said coldly.

I have decided to build the customs city into an earth town, and everything is to drive the technology of the other world. Who dares to make him feel bad, he doesn't mind getting rid of this stumbling block directly.

After a heated discussion among the people, most of them were against staying in Customs City.

The major mercenary groups have decided to leave Customs City, and for the harsh conditions set by Zhao Feng, they would rather leave their hometowns and leave Customs City to start anew, rather than hand over their power to others.

"Lord of the City, I don't know if you will deal with us if we leave Customs City. ”

The leader of the Pinnacle Mercenary Group stood up, clasped his hands into fists, and saluted Zhao Feng and asked.

What he was most afraid of at the moment was that after leaving Customs City, Zhao Feng would let the demonic beasts deal with them, and they would not be able to escape death.

Zhao Feng looked at the leader of the Pinnacle Mercenary Group, who was ready to leave Customs City, and thought for a while, "Since I have allowed you to leave Customs City, I will definitely not deal with you. The strength of the city lord is not enough to backtrack. ”

Zhao Feng wished that the more they left, the better, so that the customs city would be truly easier to control. If they make trouble everywhere, there is nothing they can do with them.

"Lord Xie, we will all evacuate Customs City within seven days. ”

After speaking, the leader of the peak mercenary group turned around and left the restaurant, he was of no use here, so it was better to go back early to discuss how to leave.

"Lord of the City, we will also evacuate Customs City within seven days. ”

"So do we. ”

......

As everyone chose to leave Customs City, they all left the restaurant. And the remaining small forces that chose to stay in Customs City continued to stay here and waited for Zhao Feng to take over.
