"You can't defend like this!"

"It's the fault of the subordinates, it must be improved. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Kong Zhuo said in a deep voice. As the captain of the guard, he has an unshirkable responsibility in this matter.

Lin Feng nodded, reprimanded a few more words, and finally said: "Except for Ma Xiangrong, the salary of the others has been halved this month. ”

Early the next morning, Lin Feng arranged for the relevant mining workers to go directly to the Tyumen to mine saltpeter mines.

The people below were all surprised, after all, this was a violation of the sovereignty of other lords, and it was a big crime! However, some of the old employees who participated in the mining of coal mines were very calm, this is not the first time this kind of thing has been done, when the Flame Territory was not merged before, Lin Feng had done this kind of thing, but it was sneaky before, and this time it was to dig openly.

And the people of the Tyumen Territory were even more shocked, although they did not find saltpeter mines, but the saltpeter mines were in their territory, they were theirs, this was indisputable sovereignty, and now there were people from other territories who dared to come and mine directly, did this take them seriously?

After receiving the news, the Tyumen convoy quickly mobilized men and horses to prepare to go to the saltpeter mine to eliminate those robbers.

As a result, halfway through, an order came from the Tyumen lord that the saltpeter mine had been sold to Hongfengling and no longer belonged to Tyumen.

The indignant return of the Tyumen convoy brought the matter to a perfect end.

Lin Feng sent a message to the servants and maids in the lord's mansion that the Red Maple Building of the Grand Duke's Mansion still lacked a shopkeeper, and he could be selected from among them first, which was also a position of real power.

However, everyone's reaction was beyond Lin Feng's expectations, not too enthusiastic, but too unenthusiastic. According to Lin Feng's observations, only two servants had this intention.

One is Cai Xuequan and the other is Yan Feilong, both of them are the first batch of servants, but their qualifications are very poor, even if they have the help of spirit stones, they only have the cultivation of the fourth level of the human level until now, and there is no hope of breaking through the ground level in this life!

Only then did I think about being a shopkeeper, so that I could leave a lot of wealth to my family and descendants, and I could also think about Qingfu and not be so tired.

Sure enough, the day after the news came out, Cai Xuequan and Yan Feilong successively approached Lin Feng and expressed their willingness to go to the Red Maple Building of the Grand Duke's Mansion to be the shopkeeper.

This time it was Lin Feng's turn to be embarrassed, because there was only one place, and now there were indeed two people competing.

So who should be chosen? Cai Xuequan and Yan Boiling Dragon?

Lin Feng found Jun Yao and Gao Tie and asked them in detail what they usually do, as well as their personality traits. With the deepening of understanding, the final candidate was gradually decided in my heart.

。。。

"Cai Xuequan, the sixth master is waiting for you in the study. ”

The high-speed rail notified Cai Xuequan, who was doing things.

Cai Xuequan was nervous, the moment to decide his fate had come, and he immediately packed up his things and walked towards Lin Feng's study. As a result, at the stairs on the first floor, he met Yan Feilong.

"Sixth Master, also tell you to go over now?" Cai Xuequan asked.

"Yes, the sixth master also told you to go over now?" Yan Feilong asked.

"Yes. Cai Xuequan nodded.

The relationship between Cai Xuequan and Yan Feilong is just average, this time I competed for the position of the shopkeeper of Hongfeng Building, I thought it would be a matter of course, but I didn't expect to kill a mischievous person halfway!

"I'm going to decide on the position of the shopkeeper of the Red Maple Building, and it's urgent for you to quit now!" Cai Xuequan was unceremonious and explained his position directly.

"I'm sorry, the shopkeeper of Hongfeng Building is mine, you still want to seek another position, right?" Yan Feilong did not show weakness, and he was bound to win the position of the shopkeeper of Hongfeng Building!

Cai Xuequan and Yan Feilong were on fire with their eyes, and it was useless to say more, so they walked up the stairs.

'Knock', 'knock', 'knock' sounded at the door.

"Come in. ”

Cai Xuequan and Yan Feilong walked into the study side by side.

"Sixth Master!" Sixth Master!"

"You're here!"

Lin Feng, who was sitting at the desk, put down the books in his hand and looked up at Cai Xuequan and Yan Feilong.

"I called you this time, and you must have guessed what it was. I will choose one of you to be the treasurer of the Grand Duke's Palace. ”

"After careful consideration, I have decided to appoint ... Lin Feng paused and continued: "Cai Xuequan, you are here to serve as the treasurer of the Red Maple Building of the Grand Duke's Mansion. ”

Cai Xuequan's face was overjoyed: "Thank you Sixth Master! Thank you Sixth Master!"

Seeing Yan Feilong standing aside in frustration, Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "Yan Feilong, you are indeed inferior to Cai Xuequan in terms of business ability, but you are not weak, if you want, you can serve as the deputy treasurer of the Red Maple Building of the Grand Duke's Mansion and assist Cai Xuequan in managing and operating the Red Maple Building!"

The deputy shopkeeper Yan Feilong's heart kept turning.

"If you don't want to be the deputy treasurer, it doesn't matter, if there are other opportunities in the future, you will be given priority. Seeing that Yan Feilong didn't speak, Lin Feng continued to propose.

After Yan Feilong's fierce thought struggle, his expression must be:

"Sixth master, I am willing to serve as the deputy treasurer of the Red Maple Building, and assist Cai Xuequan in managing and operating the Red Maple Building. ”

Who knows what the future opportunity will be? Maybe it's not as good as the deputy shopkeeper of the Red Maple Building? And I don't know how long I'll have to wait? The so-called thousand birds in the forest are better than a bird in hand!

"Okay, then it's decided!" Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction.

After Lin Feng stayed in Red Maple Ridge for half a month, he went to the Grand Duke's Mansion to attend the opening ceremony of Red Maple Tower, but this time he didn't bring Rem Reilly, but brought Amy.

As for Cai Xuequan and Yan Feilong, they set off as early as a week ago.

Since Amy got the kitchen knife, her cultivation has been improving day by day, and she has reached the 9th level of the human level, tied for the first place with Jun Yao, and can break through to the ground level at any time.

Lin Feng didn't have any other reason for taking Amy this time, that is, Amy's cooking skills were too good. The opening party of the Red Maple Building will entertain guests from all walks of life, wrapping rich merchants, nobles, lords, etc., and let Amy show her hands and raise her face.

Amy drove the carriage, and Lin Feng sat next to him and did not enter the carriage.

"After the railway is built in the future, it won't take a day to go from Hongfengling to the Grand Duke's Palace, so everyone can go to the Grand Duke's Palace. Lin Feng leaned against the car door and said lazily.

"Sixth Master, is the Grand Duke's Mansion really that good? better than the current Red Maple Ridge?" Amy asked curiously.

"Well, in terms of material richness, Hongfeng Ridge is not comparable, and there are a lot of people. Lin Feng thought for a moment and replied, the Grand Duke's Mansion is the center of the entire Northwest Divine Wind Empire, gathering most of the precious materials of the entire Northwest Divine Wind Empire. Although the current Hongfeng Ridge is developing rapidly, it is still not comparable to the Grand Duke's Palace.

"Really?" Amy is full of longing for the Grand Duke's Palace.

You must know that the current Red Maple Ridge, under the leadership of Lin Feng, has far surpassed other territories, and Amy can't imagine how the Grand Duke's Mansion, which is better than the Red Maple Ridge, will prosper?

"Of course it's true, you'll find out when you get there. Lin Feng said with a smile.

After waiting for a while, Amy seemed to think of something, hesitated, and asked Lin Feng.

"Sixth Master, there's a question I've always wanted to ask?"

"Oh, what is it?" Lin Feng replied nonchalantly.

"Along the way, why didn't you see a single thief, didn't you say that there are a lot of thieves in the outside world?" Amy struggled for a long time, and finally asked, after all, this question is too unlucky, how can anyone want to meet a thief?

When Amy was in Hongfengling, she had always heard that there were many thieves in the outside world, especially the world outside Hongfengling, and she often heard that who was robbed, and whose girl was robbed to be the lady of the village.

When she came out with Lin Feng, Amy secretly made up her mind that she must protect Lin Feng's safety, and she must beat those thieves to the water, so that Lin Feng can reach the Grand Duke's Mansion comfortably and safely.

Listening to Amy's words, Lin Feng smiled: "In the early days of the empire, there may still be hairy thieves, but now the hairy thieves are basically extinct." ”

"Why?" Amy was stunned, this is different from what she heard?

"Because of the presence of the Imperial Army!"

"Did you listen to the merchants?" Lin Feng asked.

"Yes, they say they often encounter thieves out there robbing their goods. ”

"That's right, they lied to you. Lin Feng said with a smile.

"What's the use of them lying to me?" Amy was still a little unconvinced.

"I don't lie to you, how can his stuff be sold for a high price?" Nowadays, people rarely leave the territory where they were born and do not know much about the outside world, and those speculative businessmen take advantage of this information asymmetry to sell some ordinary things for a high price. In order to prevent ordinary civilians from going out easily, they spread the information that they often encounter robbers.

One or two businessmen did not have much impact by doing this, but the number of people who spread it was too large, and for some ordinary people, they would often believe it! Lin Feng didn't expect that even Amy would believe it.

"Treacherous! Amy was indignant: "Next time I let me touch them, I have to make them look good!"

Seeing Amy's cute appearance, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile.

"If you do encounter a thief, then you have to pay attention. ”

"One is a newcomer who has just come out to do the profession of a thief, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, this is easier to deal with, and after exposure, it will be exterminated, and the other is a single thief who is strong and will run away and often change places. ”

can continue to be free under the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army, the strength is definitely not weak, and the ability to escape is definitely first-class!

After more than a week of traveling, he finally returned to the Grand Duke's Palace, and when he passed by the Countdom of St. America and the Earldom of Chengfeng, Lin Feng stopped by to visit, but neither of them was at home.

After returning to the Grand Duke's Palace, the first thing he did was to greet the Third Elder, that is, Lin Feng's grandfather Lin Xuefeng, and send an invitation to the opening of the Red Maple Building. Then he returned to his house.

The housekeeper Fu Bo has been waiting for a long time, and Fu Bo came half a month ago to recruit the sales staff so that they can be on the job at any time.
